A George Jenkins High School student died Monday morning after deputies say he was hit by a vehicle while on his way to school.
The crash happened at 6:18 a.m. on Clubhouse Road near the intersection of Summerlin Hills Drive and Andros Boulevard.
Deputies say Kalen Kirk, 17, was running across Clubhouse to get to the bus stop located on Andros Boulevard when he was hit by an eastbound vehicle.
Kirk was taken to Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center in critical condition. He later died at the hospital.
Deputies say there is no crosswalk or school crossing at the intersection where Kirk was crossing the road, and that it was dark at the time of the crash. Investigators say it appears as though the driver was unable to avoid hitting Kirk.
The roads will be closed for several hours while the traffic unit investigates.
The investigation continues.
