Blue Springs boy killed by delivery van
There is some sad news on the eve Bike Week, with the first bicyclist fatality of 2008. This evening a four year-old boy was killed by a delivery van while bicycling in the parking lot of his apartment complex in Blue Springs. Law enforcement is treating the death as an accident. One report notes the drivers seat of the van was positioned too high for the driver to see the boy on his bicycle.
Coverage from The Star, KMBC-TV 9, and KSHB-TV 41.
Update: The news media report that the boy's name is Mason P. McBride and a memorial fund has been setup in his name at Blue Ridge Bank and Trust in Blue Springs and Independence.
