Boy 14, hit by SUV as he ran out into the street
A 14-year-old Lehigh Acres boy, identified by the Florida Highway Patrol as Justin Lopez, was hit by a Nissan SUV on Monday afternoon. Investigators said a vehicle driven by Natasha Blake of Lehigh, hit the boy when he ran out in front of her vehicle on Jaguar Blvd.
Investigators said the driver steered left in an attempt to avoid hitting the boy, but the passenger side mirror of the SUV struck the boy, knocking him to the ground.
The boy was taken by Lee County Medical Flight to Lee Memorial Hospital where he was listed in serious condition. Although police said in their report that the boy was at fault for violation of right-of-way, no charges were made against him.
