HERRIMAN — A 16-year-old was hit by a car in Herriman Friday night, and police said he was in “extremely critical condition” when he was taken to the hospital.
The Herriman City Police Department said Saturday that the accident occurred at approximately 9:35 p.m. the night before on Teton Ranch Drive.
“First responders located a 16-year-old male with significant injuries. Paramedics from Unified Fire Authority and the South Jordan Fire Department treated the juvenile and he was flown by air ambulance to an area hospital in extremely critical condition,” the police department said.
According to a preliminary investigation by police, the juveniles were in a car together “exploring the area.” At some point, the victim got out of the car. Then, the vehicle struck the boy.
“Contributing factors leading up to the crash are still being investigated, but current information suggests the driver did not see the victim in front of the vehicle,” police said.
The department said a juvenile female was driving the car at the time of the accident, and a juvenile male was also inside. They both stayed on scene and were cooperating with police.
A family member of the victim told KSL the teen is 16-year-old Carson Davies. She provided these photos from the family:
The family released the following statement in a *GoFundMe:
“Carson is an amazing son, brother, uncle, and friend. He loves music, football, and life in general. You’ll always catch him in a swaggy outfit with his favorite shades. He is always smiling and happy to include those around him. He makes everyone laugh and feel abundantly loved and important.”
The GoFundMe said Davies was at a high school football game before the accident, and said he was being treated at Primary Children’s Hospital.
“We know he is in good hands, but he is facing multiple serious, traumatic injuries. Any amount donated will help relieve the financial stress and pressure from the family. While their focus is solely on Carson and his recovery, we know this will impact them greatly. The family asks that you keep Carson in your thoughts and prayers while he continues fighting hard in the ICU,” the statement said.
