He was flown to UT hospital with leg and head injuries.
Police believe the driver could not have avoided the crash.
“Based upon the investigation right now, it's simply an accident. It's not a very well-lit area. We've had some previous issues there before with the amount of lighting there is and then the restaurant lighting that surrounds it, it creates visibility issue there,” Steve Owens said
The truck driver was not injured.
There is no word on the teen's condition.
