Miami-Dade Police say the driver of a car that struck and later killed a 14-year-old boy will not be charged.
Police say the Ford F-250 that struck Vincent Delmore, as he was crossing the intersection of U.S. 1 at Southwest 27 Avenue, Friday had the right of way.
Police believe that the Ford threw Delmore into the northbound lanes of U.S. 1 where it was believed two additional cars hit Delamore. "This kid is 14 years old, is pretty big. He looks like an adult," said Ignatius Carroll of Miami Fire Rescue. "For someone not to know that they struck this young man would be pretty amazing, if they didn't know that they hit this kid."
However, the medical examiner's office said that Delmore was hit by one car instead of several cars.
Delmore's friends say he was headed home after a day of skateboarding. "We got on the Metrorail over at Sunset. We go home like nothing had happene and, this morning, we find out he died. We were in shock. We didn't believe it," said Alex Uslar.
Mary Seander witnessed the accident and stopped to comfort Delmore before Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived on the scene: "I didn't get out of the car until he started to move. When I saw him move, I got out, and I just rubbed his head and told him, he'd be all right, and they'd be here to help him soon," she said.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue transported Delmore to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center where he later died.
Delmore was an eighth grade student at Ponce de Leon Middle School.
His friends say he was a great friend. "He was our best friend. He cared for us. He was always there for us. He lived to play sports. He didn't deserve to die," said Andrew Lucas.
Crisis councelors will be at the school Monday morning to help students cope with the loss of the classmate.
