Still a teenager.
Glad his injuries are not life threatening. It could have been worse.
Still a teenager.
And your point is?
Teenagers should know how to cross the street
Yes, I'm glad the kid wasn't injured worse, but let's be clear. He darted out in front of a bus. The bus even swerved to avoid him- I walked by the scene after it happened but before EMS showed up and saw the bus over the yellow line.
Sometimes I take risks while out. I never press the walk button at Ukraine Way a short distance away, working the light sequence to my advantage. Runners always look for a quick way across the street. That said, I pay attention and never run in front of a vehicle that's moving. Learned that when I was 5 years old.
Hope he gets the help he needs
I wouldn't be surprised if this were a suicide attempt, given that he darted out suddenly straight into the path of a bus. My thoughts are also with the bus driver - it's traumatic hitting someone when you're in a situation where it's impossible to foresee or avoid it.
