CENTERVILLE — A 9-year-old boy is dead after being hit by a construction truck in Centerville Tuesday afternoon.

Around 3:15 p.m. Centerville police were called to the intersection of Revere Village Court and South Main Street to reports of a person hit by a car, according to a spokesperson for Centerville Police Department.

Abraham was walking across South Main Street near Revere Village Court when he was hit by a mid-sized construction truck. The truck had been traveling north on South Main Street in the right lane at the time of the crash, according to a Centerville police crash report.

Abraham was a rising fourth grader at Driscoll Elementary, a Centerville City Schools spokesperson confirmed to News Center 7.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Bryson’s family and friends, and we have support in place for any of our students and staff members who need it,” the spokesperson said.
