A 17-year-old from Aberdeen, Scotland, was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle in the area of 5186 Clinton Street Road, Batavia, shortly before 1:30 a.m.
Ethan R. Walker is believed to be a student at Genesee Community College.
According to the Sheriff's Office, he was apparently a passenger in a 2007 Chevy Suburban that was eastbound on Route 33. For some reason, Walker got out of the vehicle, crossed the roadway on foot and entered the westbound lane.
He was struck by a grey 2008 Toyota RAV4 driven by Garrett R. Mercurio, 18, of Batavia.
Mercurio and witnesses called 9-1-1.
Town of Batavia Fire and Mercy EMS arrived on scene and provided Walker with medical care. Walker was transported by ground ambulance from the scene and later flown by Mercy EMS to ECMC, where he is currently in the trauma unit.
The incident is being investigated by the Sheriff's Office, including members of the Crash Management Team.
