ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A 9-year-old boy was hit and killed while riding his bicycle on Sunday evening near 63rd Avenue North and 12th Street North in St. Petersburg.
The boy was hit by a Kia SUV around 6:53 p.m. The driver stopped and cooperated with officers.
The child was taken to a local hospital, but did not survive his injuries.
12th Street North between 62nd and 64th Avenue North is closed to traffic while the investigation is underway.
Back-to-back storm events brought record storm surge, rainfall and winds to the Tampa Bay region. The question some are asking now isn’t where people should rebuild, but where we should let nature regain control.
