A 15-year-old boy riding a bicycle suffered life-threatening injuries Friday when he collided with a car in Tacoma, police said.
According to Tacoma police spokesperson Wendy Haddow, a call came in at 11:58 a.m. about a collision at East T Street and East Fairbanks Street. Haddow said the boy appeared to be traveling north on T Street when he failed to stop for the stop sign. He then ran into a car that was traveling east on Fairbanks, Haddow said.
The bicyclist was transported to an area hospital. No one in the car was injured.
A police collision team was investigating the crash.
Friday’s collision comes three days after a 13-year-old boy was killed when a car hit him as he pedaled his bike in a crosswalk near Parkland.
