A teen had to be air-lifted to a trauma center Thursday after they were hit by a vehicle in St. Augustine, according to St. Johns County Fire Rescue.
The 17-year-old suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was reported to be in stable condition, fire rescue told News4JAX.
Fire rescue said they responded at around 6 p.m.
All lanes are open along Woodlawn Road and Jackson Park Drive after reports on social media of a large presence, including law enforcement and fire rescue.
This makes the second crash in a week in St. Johns County to involve minors.
On Tuesday, a 12-year-old Patriot Oaks Academy student was fatally hit while crossing the street near the school on a mini dirt bike.
News4JAX asked SJFR why the teen was airlifted despite having non-life-threatening injuries. They said they follow trauma alert criteria.
