Livingston County Sheriff's deputies said a teenager died hours after a car hit him while he was riding his bike Monday evening.
Deputies said 14-year-old Boyd Hilligus IV was riding along Route 256 in North Dansville when a car headed southbound hit him just before 6 p.m. Monday.
"We have determined that the point of impact the individual was off the shoulder of the road in his pike path area," Sheriff John York explained. "We are continuing to investigate it appropriately."
York said Hilligus was riding with traffic but was not wearing a helmet. The teen was airlifted to Strong Memorial Hospital where he later died.
No Charges have been filed against the driver.
Boyd would have entered the eighth grade when the new school year begins September 12th. His former middle school principal says he was a great student who would light up a classroom.
"One of the qualities that I know we all admired about Boyd is his ability to advocate for his peer group," Amy Schiavi said. "He came in every morning greeting and also being very, very polite. One of the things I can tell you is standing by the door every morning at the middle school I was always impressed with his politeness and his eagerness to be there."
Dansville Central School District officials say grief counselors are available to meet with students and staff.
