EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — Colorado State Patrol (CSP) says that around 8:00 p.m. on Friday, troopers responded to the area of I-25 near South Academy Boulevard after receiving reports of a juvenile who was hit by a car.
The juvenile was crossing the roadway when they were hit in the left lane of northbound I-25 and suffered serious injuries.
The car is described as a white sedan with a black bumper, "possibly a Ford Focus," and did not remain on scene.
Due to the juvenile moving out of the car's direct path of the car and being hit by its side, investigators think the car may have minor-to-no damage.
The CSP Vehicular Crimes Unit will be leading this investigation.
If you were traveling through the area around 8:00 p.m., on Friday, April 17, and believe you hit something or witnessed this incident, you're asked to call CSP Pueblo Dispatch Center at (719)544-2424 and reference case number VC260115.
