DALLAS — A juvenile died after a vehicle struck the person on the Julius Schepps Freeway in Dallas on Saturday morning, according to police.

Emergency responders transported the juvenile to a hospital in critical condition. The juvenile later died from injuries sustained in the crash. Authorities did not release the victim’s age.
Police said the SUV driver also went to a hospital in stable condition after speaking with investigators at the scene.
