The victim suffered serious injuries.
A 16-year-old was left with serious injuries after being involved in what has been described as a "freak accident" outside a residence hall at the University of Connecticut on Sunday night. The incident occurred while the teenager, who was not a UConn student, was assisting another student with moving into the North Residence Halls complex.
According to officials from UConn, the young individual sustained injuries when attempting to halt a vehicle that had started rolling while it was out of gear. Tragically, the vehicle collided with the juvenile and trapped them against one of the buildings.
Preliminary reports indicate that this unfortunate victim suffered severe injuries as a result of this incident. Emergency services swiftly arrived at the scene and transported them by ambulance to Connecticut Children's Medical Center located in Hartford for immediate medical attention.
