Ogden, UT (October 03, 2022) – A 12-year-old was taken to the hospital after being struck by a car on Friday, September 30th.
The incident occurred at about 9:00 p.m. in the 300th block of North Wall Avenue in Ogden when a driver hit the pre-teen for reasons that have yet to be determined.
The victim was taken by ambulance to a local hospital in serious condition.
The driver was unharmed during the impact.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Watching out for bicycle riders is not a priority for every driver.
Additionally, Utah has a significant number of badly maintained roadways and aggressive, even outright hostile, drivers. Add to that a restricted number of bike lanes, frequently shifting weather patterns, and deep-seated issues with the state’s infrastructure and you have a recipe for an absolute disaster.
