View Date:2024-12-23 21:19:57
A 14-year-old Texas boy was hit and killed by a car after he led police on a vehicle and foot pursuit on the highway Wednesday night, authorities said.
The pursuit happened around 9:50 p.m. in the 14000 Block of State Highway 288 Northbound in Pearland, about 21 miles southeast of Houston, Pearland police said in a news release.
The teen behind the wheel lost control of the vehicle and hit the center concrete barrier, officers said. After the crash, the boy ran away across the main lanes of State Highway 288, towards the southbound lanes.
The officer lost sight of the boy as he ran away from the crash, the release said.
About five minutes later, someone called Pearland Dispatch about an auto-pedestrian accident in the southbound lanes of State Highway 288. Officers responded to the scene and found that the 14-year-old boy had been hit by a vehicle while trying to run across the southbound lanes.
Officers administered CPR at the scene and an ambulance arrived to take the boy to Ben Taub Hospital. He was later pronounced dead.
Authorities said the investigation is active. They ask that anyone with information call the Pearland Police Department at (281) 997-4100.
