Houston, TX — Police with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office reported that a driver struck a young boy with their car on Highway 6 this past Tuesday morning, May 5, 2015. The child, a 7th-grade male student at Albright Middle School, was apparently trying to cross the road at Highway 6 and Empanada Drive that morning when he was hit by a passing car.
The driver stopped after hitting the child and called police, telling them that he had a green light at the time. The boy, who hasn’t been named, was taken to a helicopter so he could be flown to the nearby Memorial Hermann for treatment.
The nature of his injuries wasn’t clear, but they appeared to be moderately serious from the news reports and coverage.
The student was about 1/2 mile from Albright Middle School when this happened and he may have been walking to school.
