A 12 year old boy remains in life threatening condition in the Children’s Hospital Saturday morning after the motorized bike he was riding was hit by an SUV Friday Night.
Emergency crews were called to the 1900 block of 10A Street Southwest just after 7 p.m.
The youth drive the small off-road dirtbike out of an alley, and into 10A Street in front of an Acura MDX being operated by a 16 year old male.
