This does not appear to have been a motorcycle accident. The victim still needs your prayers.

From the Daily News:

An Inglewood boy (14) is in a critical condition after being struck by a car yesterday morning.

The boy was hit on Dudley Rd, just south of the town, by a carload of teenagers shortly after 10am.

The victim was believed to have been playing on the side of the road with his push-scooter when the car, travelling towards State Highway 3, came over a small rise in the road and hit him.

Dudley Rd farmer Ross Henwood said he had seen the boy carrying his scooter along the road just before the accident.

Mr Henwood did not see the collision, but ran to the scene. The car had skidded almost 100m up the road, taking the boy with it, smashed through a roadside fence, hit a power pylon and ended up nose-first in a dirt bank on the other side of the road.

"When I got there, the girl (from the car) was already out, sitting on the grass screaming," he said. "I didn't even know the kid was lying there (in the ditch)."

Neighbours had already called emergency services, but Mr Henwood said he could see the boy was in a serious condition.

"His head was already swelling up and he was only just breathing, I think. But he was still moving," Mr Henwood said.

The boy was rushed to Taranaki Base Hospital with severe head injuries and leg and abdominal injuries.

The three occupants of the car, two boys aged 16 and 17 and a 16-year-old girl, were taken to hospital with head lacerations and arm injuries. Police said the driver was from Inglewood.

Inglewood Constable Alistair Balsom said that after discussions with staff at Taranaki Base Hospital, police were having to revise initial ideas of what had caused the crash.

"At the moment we are unsure as to exactly what happened," he said.

Serious-crash investigators were on their way to Taranaki yesterday afternoon, and would be going over the scene today, Mr Balsom said.

I guess the 111 people heard "scooter" and assumed motor scooter.

I pray for anyone in need not just bikers. I hope the poor bairn recovers.

Speeding over a hill top again, maybe. You just NEVER know what's going to be on the other side of that hill

Must have been going at a fair clip from the sound of it.

However there may be more to it than appears, since the police say they are revising their initial opinions.

My first post was a copy of the email that was sent to me via the Police.

This piece of road is where the Boy racers jump their cars over this hill . Sadly this time things went very wrong & now a death is on the cards . After car hit the boy it went across the road & hit a Power pole .
