Teen struck, hurt in parking lot of Cypress High School on Westgreen
CYPRESS, TX – A teen went to the hospital last Thursday after a vehicle struck her in the parking lot of her high school in Cypress, reports Click 2 Houston.
The incident occurred after school in the parking lot of Cypress Park High School, which is located in the 7400 block of Westgreen Boulevard. This is in the northwest suburbs of Houston.
Police say that another student struck the teen with his vehicle twice when his foot slipped on the accelerator. The victim became pinned between the first car and a second vehicle.
Medics transported the victim to an area hospital for treatment. The victim’s mother says she will require physical therapy to recover from her injuries.
The family is seeking clarification from the high school regarding the slow response of on-campus officers. School officials have attributed the delay to an afternoon pep rally.
A full investigation is underway.
