It says he is in critical condition, not that he died.

i drove by right around 6:30 and saw a person face down on the side of the road. an officer was kneeling on the ground and examining the person. there were two cars pulled over on the side of the road, no sign of a truck. could be a hit and run situation. the situation did not look good. i hope the person is ok.

Seems to be more car accidents in the burbs then shooting in the City.
And seems more are dying in the burbs, when shot city residents or surviving.
It's not even 1am yet, we'll have to see what the score turns out to be in the morning.

how about prayer for the victim and his family, worry about whose fault it is later

It's a shame someone else was hit by a car. I hope the driver is held accountable. Its not enough to say "I didn't see them". I hit a parked car before and got treated like felon. I've never hit a person.

Your not putting a good case forward to defend your carelessness. A car is slightly bigger than the human body and has lots of reflective things on it.

Just because you have a pulse...

The bottom line is that most drivers now are neglegent to watching where they are going. just this summer i was hit on my motorcycle not 200 yards from that intersection and put into the hospital because the driver "didnt see me" the driver should be held accountable for his neglegence

Leroy, this child was hit by a car in Henrietta, as ( YOU ) say a burb of the City, so WHY are YOU so WORRIED about this????
Leroy, how does this affect you??? as a ( City Resident )????
Leroy, your a RACIST PIG, just SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!

Red, just ignore the moron. I know it's hard sometimes, but don't bother with these idiots. The more attention we give them, the bolder they get. I can understand your anger here though.

Thanks CityRes, I'm a city dweller too and people post such idiotic uneducated responses on this post. I love living in the city!

Accountable for what? Police say no alcohol or speed. The truck didnt go up onto a sidewalk and hit him. There was no sidewalk there, just a shoulder. Those are the risks of walking on the unlit county roads. Unfortunately these kids were most likely walking 3 abreast and he was the one closest to oncoming traffic walking on the line.(and wearing DARK clothing).
If it were today, it'd been 5:30 and still enough daylight.
It's too bad for this kid and his family. It's also a serious and deadly lesson learned for his 2 friends with him about the dangers of walking at night next to a road with no sidewalk or street lights in dark clothing.

I'm not saying it happened in this incident, but I've seen way too many kids who purposely try to walk as close to traffic as possible on purpose in somw twisted form of chicken to be cool for the buddies they're with. Then they do the fake jump out or flinch to freak the driver out.
Wasnt there an incident little more than a month ago in the area where a teen was walking in a group and horseplay was going on according to witnesses and a kid got shoved into traffic and killed? Kids think they are immune to danger and death, their brains haven't developed enough to process consequences for impulsive actions or to determine judgement and risk. That's why there are so many teen car accidents when turning into oncoming traffic, they can't calculate fast enough speed, distance and risk.

This is certainly a tragic accident. The response on the blogs are inappropiate to say the least. Shows what kind of character MOST of you have, be it in the city or the burbs.Condolences to the families involved should be what this is all about. STOP BEING SUCH MORONS>

[Former Henrietta Res]

There is a section of Leigh Station where people must walk in the street because the homeowner (bless his evil heart-I used to curse him every day) refuses to allow the sidewalk to encroach upon his property. He has also erected giant shrubs to make sure you are forced into the street while walking to the high school. You either walk in the street, or cross LS and then recross back (no stop sign, or light) across the busy part of LS to get into the high school. If this happened in front of his property I hope the mean old varmit rots in helifax.

ShittyRes, you still don't know the difference between then and than? Your 2nd sentance is incomplete and confusing.(Product of NOT attending enough City schools)
Remember all those city kids who were killed in the city this summer? Adult lady on St.Paul by County Services last yr? Last count, there were over 7 shootings in the city in the last 3 nights.

Shootings are not all killings.

I agree some on this I havent seen them throw their arm out in traffic. But I have seen where people cross the street and they see you coming but take there time to cross or get out of the way. I have seen this all over from the city to towns in wayne county. And I am not a Racist but it seems that its more the colored that i see do this.

You're not a bigot and you use the word COLORED??????
