Somebody ran over a 15 year old here in Austin on Friday night and drove off. The kid will recover, but so help me God if I found that guy.
About this story, I wonder if any traffic laws at all were being violated? Would it make a difference, legally, if the kids just ran out in front of the van, or if the van blew through a red light?
I think it would make a difference, but then again I'm not a lawyer. If this guy was sober, and the boy ran out in traffic and hit him he probably wouldn't be charged with anything.
