On Tuesday night, a 16-year-old boy lost his life following a traffic collision near Boulder Highway.
Officers actively responded to the area of Boulder Highway and Indios Avenue at about 10:07 p.m. after getting reports of a two-vehicle crash, involving an RTC bus and a two-wheel scooter. The preliminary investigation showed that a bus was heading south on Boulder Highway in the bus lane when it crashed into the scooter, south of Indios.
Officers released a statement that “A juvenile, considered a pedestrian, was riding a standup electric scooter eastbound on Indios Avenue in the street, near the south curb, passing traffic that was stopped for a solid red traffic signal. A traffic collision occurred when the juvenile failed to stop and crossed the travel path of the bus.”
The boy died of his injuries at the scene. Boulder Highway was shut down in both directions between Indios and Flamingo as crews worked at the scene. The driver of the bus stayed at the scene and did not display any signs of impairment. The Clark Coroner’s Office will release the identity of the deceased after notifying the next of kin.
The incident remains under investigation.
