in the 25600 block of 101st Avenue SE<\/a>, near Kent-Meridian High School.<\/p>\nThe two juveniles ran across the street at 101st Avenue SE and SE 256th Street, according to a March 1 email from Kent Police Assistant Chief Jarod Kasner.<\/p>\n
“Although they were in the crosswalk, they ran across on a red light,” Kasner said. “Traffic had the green light for travel and the juveniles were struck while running across the roadway.”<\/p>\n
The collision occurred at about 4:49 p.m., according to Puget Sound Fire.<\/p>\n
“Their injuries were significant and they were taken to the hospital,” Kasner said.<\/p>\n
The vehicle driver, an 18-year-old Kent man, remained on the scene and cooperated with traffic investigators, Kasner said.<\/p>\n
“There were no indications that impairment was a factor for the driver of the vehicle,” Kasner said.<\/p>\n
Police shut down traffic in both directions along SE 256th Street during the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
