A 13-year-old boy who was struck by a car in northeastern Fresno, California is reported to be in a critical condition. Chase Hopps suffered massive head injuries and is in a coma.

The accident happened at around 5:15 pm near the Granite Ridge Intermediate School in the Clovis Unified School District where Chase attended seventh grade. He was apparently on the crosswalk when he was hit by a car going east. The car was being driven by 55-year-old Clovis resident Debra Hurado, a teacher at Liberty Elementary School.

Hurado hit the boy after stopping at a stop sign. She told investigators that she didn't see the boy.

Investigations are being hampered by the fact that they were no witnesses.
