A 13-year-old boy who was hit by a car at the intersection of 202 Street and 64 Avenue on Sunday is improving, confirm police.
Langley RCMP said a preliminary investigation suggests the victim was riding a skateboard and crossed south through the intersection, running the light and getting hit by the eastbound car driving through on a green light. The teen wasn’t wearing a helmet.
The driver stayed on scene. The crash took place around 1 p.m.
The victim was airlifted to hospital for treatment of what was originally thought to be life threatening injuries. Police say he has head injuries but it appears he is going to be OK, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.
