A ten-year-old child was killed on Wednesday, April 24th, after being struck by a semi-truck while riding a bicycle home from Wetherbee Elementary School in Orlando. At the time of this writing, the truck and the driver involved have not been located or identified.

The reports from the Florida Highway Patrol indicate that it was during the afternoon that the incident took place. The child had just gotten out of school, and the area was filled with parents picking their children up and taking them home. The ten-year-old involved was riding their bike away from the school and had reached the intersection of Wetherbee Road and Landstar Boulevard. This intersection lies not even one half mile from Wetherbee Elementary. This intersection features a crosswalk, and the child in question was using this crosswalk to get from one side of the road to the other.
