Specialized officers with the California Highway Patrol were out in front of Righetti High School in Orcutt Wednesday in connection with a crash investigation from earlier this month.
On the evening of Sept. 9, CHP reported that a GMC Yukon heading westbound on Foster Road struck a 14-year-old boy on an electric scooter as he tried crossing near Woodland Street.
The boy was taken to the hospital to be treated for his injuries. A gofundme account states he is now back home recovering.
