Accident – Death – Obituary News :

A young boy, aged 7, was left with serious injuries on Tuesday afternoon following a collision with a vehicle in the Kenmore neighbourhood of the city.

The incident occurred at approximately 4:12 p.m. in the 2500 block of 30th Street, prompting a swift response from officers. Initial reports suggest that the boy was riding his bicycle on the road when he was struck by the vehicle. Shockingly, the driver of the car, identified as a 59-year-old man, fled the scene.

The injured boy was quickly taken to Akron Children’s Hospital, where he is currently in a stable condition receiving treatment for his injuries.

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of investigators, including support from the Barberton Police Department and the Flock License Plate Reader, details about the vehicle involved in the collision were uncovered. Subsequently, both the suspect and the vehicle were located at an address in the 100 block of Norwood Street in Barberton.

Upon questioning, the man openly confessed to his involvement in the accident, according to police reports.

The identity of the driver has been withheld from the public, and authorities are currently considering charges pending the completion of their ongoing investigation.
