A 13-year-old boy has been rushed to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition after being hit by a car east of the intersection of Bothell Way and Main Street Thursday afternoon.

The incident happened around 3 p.m.  The car was travelling east on Bothell Way when witnesses say it went through a red light at the intersection at Main, left the street, hit a power pole and then hit the child, who was riding a razor scooter with two friends.

It is estimated that the boy was tossed at least 20 feet by the impact.  The car also hit a bike that belonged to a second boy, but he was unhurt.

The boy was taken to Harborview with numerous injuries and is in critical condition.  The driver of the car, a man in his 50s, was taken to Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland for treatment.

It isn't known what caused the car to leave the roadway.  Highway 522 east of the Bothell Way/Main Street intersection was closed in both directions while the incident was being investigated by Bothell police.
