A 16-year-old boy was killed while crossing the 91 Freeway in Riverside.
He had almost made it across when he was hit by a car at around 10 p.m. just east of Tyler Street Tuesday, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
The teen crossed the westbound lanes, jumped the central divider, and had almost made it over the other side of the road when he was struck.
The driver remained on scene and reported the crash. The events leading up to it are being investigated.
