Per a press release from the Roy City Police Department, officers responded to the intersection of 4400 South and 1900 West at around 5:40 p.m. following a report of an auto-pedestrian collision. It was later determined that the boy was crossing 1900 West from the southwest corner to the southeast corner on a scooter — and within the marked crosswalk — when he was hit by a southbound vehicle.

It was also determined through the preliminary investigation that the traffic lights for the vehicle were red at the time of the incident, and the child was crossing the street as allowed by crossing signals, Roy police said.

The boy was initially transported to a local hospital by Roy City EMS and, later, airlifted to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City. As of the latest update, he is listed in stable condition.

The Weber-Metro C.R.A.S.H. team and crime scene investigators responded to diagram the incident and assist with evidence collection. Police noted that the driver involved is cooperating fully with the investigation, which is ongoing. Charges are pending the completion of the investigation.

Although police have not released the identity of the victim, a GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign was launched Wednesday for an 11-year-old boy said to have been involved in an auto-ped collision with details matching those of the Roy incident.

In the wake of the incident, Roy police spokesman Stuart Hackworth told the Standard-Examiner that motorists and pedestrians must be mindful of their surroundings and the spaces they share.

“With the summer months coming up, a lot more pedestrians are out and about,” Hackworth said. “Pedestrians and motorists, please make sure you’re taking time to make sure the roads are clear and that it’s safe to cross. Just watch out for each other.”
