19-year-old Caelan Lewis was in a crosswalk Friday evening when he was hit by a 14-year-old driving a dirt bike recklessly, officials said.
EAGLE MOUNTAIN, Utah — Sage Plott and her family have lived in Eagle Mountain for the past nine years. While she never knew Caelan Lewis, the tragedy of Friday's accident drew her to the small roadside memorial in his honor.
Lewis, 19, was in a crosswalk just before 5 p.m. when he was hit by a 14-year-old driving a dirt bike going up to 65 miles per hour, officials said. “By the time we even we heard the crash, looked out the window, by the time we got out here, someone was already giving the runner CPR," she said."And then my husband went to go check on the kid on the motorcycle.”“About a little over a year ago, my dog got out of the house and my seven-year-old went running after it," she said."The person didn’t stop, and hit the dog and killed the dog.
“In another state, there was a speeding sign that tells you how fast you’re going, but instead of it being a blinking orange, they had it where it blinked cop colors, like a police vehicle," said Dimick."So people thought it was a cop that was close by, and they would slow down.”
