POLK COUNTY, Fla. – A 14-year-old boy was killed after being struck by an SUV in Davenport on Thursday evening, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
In a release, deputies said the incident happened along US-27 at McFee Drive in the Four Corners area of the city. They responded to the scene shortly before 8 p.m.
“The victim was a 14-year-old male who lived in the area and attended the 9th grade at Davenport High School,” the release reads. “He was riding a NIU Kick electric scooter at the time of the crash.”
According to investigators, a 2026 Ford Explorer had been heading north on US-27, and the driver passed through the intersection at McFee Drive while the traffic light was still green.
