DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - The 12-year-old Kettering boy has died after being struck by a Hummer Tuesday evening while riding his bicycle.

Andy Li was run over as a driver left a Taco Bell parking lot near the intersection of South Smithville Road near Watervliet Avenue around 5:00.

Li was a sixth grade student at Kettering Middle School and attended Greenmont Elementary. Officials said counselors will be in the schools today to assist students and staff.

"He was a very well liked student. He even one time class brought in flowers for a science experiment and gave those extras to the teacher. He was just a good kid," said Doug Cozad, Principal of Kettering Middle School.

Police told  2 NEWS that after the accident, the driver involved was distraught to the point where officers activated the Police and Clergy Together program, calling a minister to the scene. This was the first time police have activated pact since it began last week.

No charges have been filed, but the investigation continues.
