A teenaged girl ran outside her southwest side home following an argument with a family member and was hit by a car, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.
It happened at Southwest 21st and Castroville Rd.
Polcie say the 14 year old girl was so distraught following the argument that she ran into the busy road without looking, and straight into the path of the oncoming car.
She suffered multiple injuries, including head injuries, and was rushed to the hospital in very critical condition.
No charges are expected to be filed against the driver.
