FRAMINGHAM – A pedestrian, 15, was struck on Summer Street this morning after 7 a.m. and needed to be flown by air ambulance to Children’s Hospital in Boston.

Just before 7 p.m. at 6:55 a.m., at Summer & Beacon Street, a “Keefe Tech student”, 15, was struck by a motor vehicle, said Framingham Fire Chief Michael Dutcher.

“The first to arrive on scene was a firefighter reporting to work. He stopped and rendered aid before Engine 2 and Ambulance 5 arrived,” said Chief Dutcher.

Patient was transported to landing zone at Mass State State Police and taken by air ambulance (helicopter) to Children’s Hospital in Boston with a head injury, said Chief Dutcher.
