Chase Pickens, 17, sustains life-threatening injuries after being struck by car in Hazel Dell, WA

The boy was struck just after a two-car collision on the street sent one car onto the sidewalk, sheriff’s Sgt. Chad Rothenberger said. At about 6:15 p.m., an eastbound silver BMW attempted to turn left into a driveway just west of Columbia River High School when a westbound maroon Mazda, which was “going way too fast,” hit the BMW, Rothenberger said.

At about 6:20 p.m., Pruett passed a vehicle, using the right-turn-only lane in the 900 block of the street, near Columbia River High School, according to the memo. The Mazda then cut back into the westbound lane, crashing into an eastbound 1997 Silver BMW that was turning into a driveway, the sheriff’s office reported.
