Avon Police confirm they are investigating the death of 18-year-old Paul L. Allen after police say the teen jumped on the side of a car as part of a game of tag.
Around 3:40 p.m. Saturday, Avon Police said that officers responded to a call about a vehicle striking a pedestrian on Crown Colony Drive in Avon's Red Tail neighborhood.
Upon arrival, police said they saw someone performing CPR on the teen. EMS transported Allen to a nearby hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The preliminary investigation showed that Allen and the driver of the vehicle knew one another and were playing a game of tag with water guns, police said.
The driver was in his Ford Bronco, returning home when he saw Allen come out from his driveway and jump on the running board of the vehicle on the driver's side, police said.
The driver proceeded forward, and at some point, Allen fell backward from the running board and struck his head on the roadway, police said.
Avon Police are still investigating, and no further details are available at this time.
