Boy Struck By Truck, Killed While Riding Bike

A 12-year-old boy was struck and killed by a pickup truck as he was riding his bike Sunday evening in Chicago's Clearing neighborhood.

The truck reportedly hit the boy when the driver attempted to make a right hand turn onto 60th Street, where the boy was attempting to cross in a crosswalk about 8:25 p.m.

The driver was ticketed with failure to yield to right of way and negligent driving. The boy was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead just after 11 p.m.
