AURORA — A teenager carrying a skateboard across South Chambers Road was critically injured Monday when he was hit by a pickup truck, police said.
The 16-year-old was attempting to cross the 3600 block of South Chambers. Two cars stopped, one in the right lane and the other in a middle lane, to let him cross. But the driver of a Ford pickup truck in the far left lane didn’t see the teen as he ran past the stopped cars.
The injured boy was taken to a hospital, police said. He was not using a crosswalk or crossing signal when the accident happened.
Police do not anticipate charging the driver of the truck.
