Joint Press Release from Morgan County School District and Fort Morgan Police Department:
Friday, August 28, 2026, shortly after 7:00 a.m., a student was hit by a vehicle near Fort Morgan Middle School. School personnel responded immediately and began administering aid. Someone called 911, and emergency responders arrived within minutes. The student was stabilized and was transported to the hospital.
We appreciate the response from students, school staff, and emergency responders in this situation.

UPDATE: This occurred well before the school day began and was not during the time of a school zone. The student was crossing Acoma from the north side of the street, in an area not marked as a crosswalk. The vehicle was travelling south on West Street and turned east onto Acoma after stopping at the stop sign. The child was near the south side of the street when struck.
The student appeared to have looked for oncoming traffic before entering the street, and the driver did not see the student crossing the street.
The speed limit on Acoma, during this time of day, is 30 mph, and speed is not a factor in this crash.
