A two year old boy from Eagle was killed Sunday afternoon after he was struck by an SUV.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Department says the boy was riding his bike west on E Street around 2:45 p.m. Investigators say as the boy rode into the intersection he was hit by a northbound Chevy Tahoe driven by an Eagle man.
Despite efforts by the child’s father and several bystanders, Whit Richards died at a Lincoln hospital. The investigation is ongoing but the sheriff’s department says alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
