I didn't know the kid but 4 years ago last month, a 15 y.o kid and a friend tried to cross one of the major, 6 lane, east-west freeways here in Denver at 11 at night. The 15 yo made it across the west bound lanes but was struck by a car in the eastbound lanes. He was thrown 70 feet back into the westbound lanes. His buddy made it across. My wife and I were coming back from a event we attended for my wife's work. I was driving westbound in the left lane and hit the body laying in the lane. I never saw him until the last second. Even if I had time, I was in traffic and couldn't swerve or brake. We pulled off about a quarter mile from the scene and called 911. Needless to say, it was pretty messy. Pretty bad experience. One wrong choice and so many lives changed. I still think about that night.
