HURRICANE — A 15-year-old boy was hit by a truck and killed while riding his bike on Thursday in Hurricane, according to police.

Police say the boy was riding an e-bike northbound at the intersection of 400 South and 400 West just before 7:40 p.m. and was hit by a pickup truck being driven by a 56-year-old male from Santa Clara, who was traveling eastbound on 400 South. The rider and the bike were caught underneath the truck, and the boy suffered serious injuries.

A nurse was at the scene and began life-saving measures on the boy until paramedics arrived, but the boy died at the location of the accident.

Police have not identified the driver or the rider, but said the rider was from LaVerkin.

More information was not immediately available.
