A 14-year-old boy in Holiday, Florida, is lucky to be alive after being hit by a swerving SUV while he was on his bike.
The incident happened Monday afternoon when a gold 1998 Ford Expedition SUV ran a stop sign and began to lose control, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
The SUV drove off the street into a yard before hitting a mailbox, a parked car and the boy, later identified as Johnny A. Walsh.
Despite taking a hit, Walsh managed to stand up after being hit. He was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries, such as bumps and bruises on his legs, hip and arms, according to WTSP TV.
