According to our news exchange partners at WPXI, One child died and another was hurt after they were hit by a vehicle while riding their bikes in Butler County Friday evening.
Butler County 911 said crews were called to Cole Road in Buffalo Township at 6:50 p.m.
Buffalo Township Police Chief Tim Derringer told Channel 11 WPXI the boys, both 13, were riding home from a local candy store when they were hit by a pickup truck going the same direction.
One of them was in critical condition. He was flown to UPMC Children’s Hospital where he later died.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the boy as Dylan Tarbi, 13.
The other boy had minor injuries and was taken to a hospital by private vehicle.
It is unclear at this time if speed played a factor in the crash, Chief Derringer said. The driver stopped and cooperated with police.
