Police: Boy, 8, killed after being struck by dump truck
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Police say an 8-year-old has died after his bicycle collided with a dump truck in Pennsylvania.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the boy as Jayden Montegomery, of Pittsburgh.
Officials say the boy was riding his bike with a friend in the city’s Troy Hill neighborhood when the bike and truck collided about 2 p.m. Thursday. The child’s friend was not hurt.
