A man was arrested in Ashland County after striking and killing a child with his vehicle while driving under the influence, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Around 3:40 p.m. on Friday, a 55-year-old man in a black 2009 Chevrolet Silverado was traveling southbound on County Road 681 in Sullivan Township when he struck a 12-year-old boy who was riding his bike, OSHP said.

The child sustained life-threatening injuries during the crash and was flown by medical helicopter to Akron Children's Hospital, where he died two days later.

The man was arrested on the scene for operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, and OSHP said more charges are pending.
