A teenager died after he was struck by a car on Texas 114 northwest of Paradise Tuesday.
The accident occurred around 8:30 p.m. Department of Public Safety Trooper Shawn Younger said the car that struck Devin Geninatti, 17, of Bridgeport, was driven by Josh Hartsell, 30, also of Bridgeport. Hartsell was traveling westbound from Paradise when he noticed a vehicle with no lights parked on the side of Texas 114. Younger said according to witnesses interviewed at the scene, as Hartsell passed the parked vehicle, Geninatti, who’d been standing in front of the parked vehicle, appeared to have jumped out in front of Hartsell’s car.
