Driver Collides with Boy on Bike Crossing Bell Street

A boy, approximately 10 to 12 years of age, went to the hospital this evening after a driver collided with his bike as he crossed Bell Street.

A San Angelo Police officer at the scene said officials responded to Bell Street and Rio Concho for a crash involving a vehicle versus a pedestrian shortly after 8:30 p.m. The car was traveling north on Bell Street, and, at the same time, two male juveniles were crossing the street on bicycles. One boy made it across, but the other didn’t.

“He ended up getting hit by the car,” said the officer. “Right now, it looks like injuries are minor. I don’t know of any major injuries as of yet.”

The officer said the boy was transported to Shannon Medical Center for treatment.

From what witnesses said, the juveniles had the right of way to cross, but the crash is still under investigation.

Thus far, a citation was issued to the driver for failure to yield the right of way to a pedestrian.
