As a 13-year-old boy fights for his life following a crash, police are urging the driver or witnesses to come forward.
A 13-year-old boy is fighting for his life, after being hit by a car while riding his bike.The incident occurred just after 7:30 p.m. on April 11 while the boy was riding a bicycle with a group of other juveniles near 47th Avenue and Northern, police said."They're just kids out riding their bikes," said Officer Moroni Mendez with Glendale Police. "As a parent myself, as a father, I can’t even begin to imagine what this family is going through. It’s horrific, it’s terrible.
"While there is no vehicle description or surveillance footage available at this time, police are stressing the severity of fleeing a scene."I get it. Traffic accidents and traffic collisions are scary, but something happened, and we need to be responsible. Traffic laws and speed limits exist for a reason. Driving is a privilege, not a right," said Officer Mendez.Police say it was a busy time on the road at the time of the tragedy, so someone may have seen something.
