Sounds like he wanted to hit by the cars, what could be so wrong to want to hurt yourself. I sure hope this teenager is ok. God bless him and his family. God bless everyone!
in the video when they interviewed the man, he said he saw that the boy got hit by a cab then went down the hill and onto the highway so he didnt want to get hurt it was because the cab hit him
the boy didnt want to get hit because the man they interviewed in the video stated that he got hit by a cab first next to the firehouse then went down the hill onto the highway then got hit by atleast 2 cars on the highway
