A 14-year-old Boynton Beach boy was killed Friday night after being struck by a speeding vehicle while crossing North Congress Avenue, according to police.
Boynton Beach Police said officers responded to a vehicle-versus-pedestrian crash just before 9 p.m. June 12 on North Congress Avenue, near Plaza Lane. The victim was identified as C of Boynton Beach.
A preliminary investigation found that C was crossing the roadway in an eastbound direction when he was hit by a BMW M4 traveling southbound at what investigators described as a high rate of speed. Boynton Beach Fire Rescue pronounced the teen dead at the scene.
Police said all people involved in the crash remained at the scene and are cooperating with investigators. No additional details about the driver or possible charges were immediately released.
