CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – A boy continues to recover in the hospital after being hit and seriously injured by a vehicle last week.

The California Highway Patrol said the collision that injured the 13-year-old boy, whose name the agency did not release, occurred on Thursday, Jan. 5, on Keys Boulevard in Clearlake Oaks.

The CHP said at 4 p.m. that day that the juvenile was walking eastbound in the roadway when he was hit by a 1994 Jeep traveling north on Keys Boulevard near Second Street.

The Jeep's driver was a 45-year-old Clearlake Oaks woman whose name the CHP also did not release in its initial report. The CHP said the woman immediately stopped at the scene after hitting the boy.

In addition to the CHP, Northshore Fire Protection District responded to the scene, as did the Lake County Sheriff's Office, which was requested to send deputies due to a large crowd forming in the area, according to radio reports.

Drugs and alcohol are not believed to be contributing factors in the collision, the CHP said.

The juvenile suffered major injuries and was transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital, where law enforcement said an air ambulance from Enloe Hospital in Chico was reported to have responded to transport him out of county.

A Go Fund Me account has been set up for the boy, https://www.gofundme.com/37gbcdc , whose family identified him as Angell Aguirre Jr., a resident of Clearlake Oaks and a seventh grader at Lower Lake Elementary School.

Updates on the fundraiser page said he is recovering, and enjoyed reading numerous get well cards from classmates on Tuesday. He is scheduled to undergo surgery on Thursday.

The fundraiser account has a goal of $5,000 to help his family with expenses while he remains hospitalized. As of early Wednesday, the account had raised $1,100.
