A nine-year-old boy riding his bicycle home from school in Irvine has been killed after he was hit by a van, according to a news report.
Irvine police said that Kevin Jiang, who came to the U.S. from China with his parents six months ago, was riding his bicycle at Roosevelt and Bay Tree in Irvine when the van hit him. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died.
The van driver — identified only as a 57-year-old male — remained at the scene. Investigators are looking into whether drugs, alcohol or speed were factors in the fatal collision. Irvine police said that many children walk and ride bikes along Roosevelt as they leave Cypress Village Elementary School, where Kevin was a student.
