A Florida teenager was killed in a 7-vehicle accident that occurred on Interstate 35 in Belton, authorities said Wednesday.
The boy, 13, was not immediately identified by the Texas Department of Public Safety because of his age, Sgt. Bryan Washko said.
âDue to the victim being a juvenile, his name is not being released,â Washko said.
The accident occurred Tuesday on northbound I-35 between Shanklin Road and Loop 121 as traffic was stopped in Belton for an emergency road bridge work that started Monday night. Five others were injured and remain in Temple hospitals.
A possibly distracted pickup driver on northbound I-35 did not observed the stopped traffic until the last second, Washko said.

A Taylor woman was killed Tuesday morning when a tractor-trailer struck her as she stood near a disabled car on foggy U.S. Highway 79 near Gause, about 70 miles southeast of Killeen.
Stephanie Louisa Torres-Herrera, 29, was standing near a disabled 1997 Honda Civic when a 2014 Freightliner tractor-trailer drifted onto the eastbound shoulder and struck the woman, Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Bryan Washko said.
Visibility was limited by heavy fog in the area and was a factor in the death as Herrera and others tried to jump start the Honda, Washko said.
Herrera was pronounced dead at the scene by Milam County Justice of the Peace Gary Northcott.
