A teen boy was hospitalized after being struck by a car in Virginia Square shortly after school dismissal on Tuesday.
Initial reports suggest the teen was biking along Wilson Blvd on a Capital Bikeshare bike when he was struck by a driver in a Toyota sedan. He was reported to be dazed and bleeding from the head.
“At approximately 3:22 p.m. on January 28, police were dispatched to N. Oakland Street at Wilson Boulevard for the report of a crash with injuries involving a cyclist,” Arlington County police spokeswoman Ashley Savage said Tuesday afternoon. “The cyclist, a juvenile male in his teens, was transported to an area hospital with injuries considered non-life threatening. The driver of the vehicle remained on scene. Police remain on scene investigating the circumstances of the crash.”
Savage said the teen was not wearing a helmet and appears to have tried to cross the street in the crosswalk but against the light.
Charges against the driver “are not anticipated,” she said.
