He was found lying on the pavement near the car that hit him when police arrived.
He was airlifted to Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga from the nearby high school. His condition has improved under treatment as he is now able to talk to investigating officers. No charges are expected in regard to the motorist who struck him.
