A 13-year-old boy was hit by a car and killed yesterday evening while riding his bicycle in Prince William County, police said.
The boy was identified as Prabhdeep Ranahawa of the 13000 block of Thrift Lane in Dale City.
The boy was crossing Hoadly Road near Olivewood Drive, less than half a mile from his home, about 6:45 p.m., when the crash occurred, according to Officer Erika M. Hernandez, a spokeswoman for the county police.
She said the boy was hit by a 2003 BMW driven by a 61-year-old Manassas woman.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, the spokeswoman said.
Hoadly Road is a major thoroughfare in the area. It was not immediately clear last night where the boy was going.
The incident was under investigation, Hernandez said.
According to Hernandez, a 14-year-old boy was seriously injured in the Manassas area this month when he was struck by a motorcycle while riding his bicycle.
