TAMPA, Fla. — The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) is investigating a deadly vehicle versus pedestrian crash in Tampa.

HCSO said a 3-year-old boy was hit and killed by a vehicle on Thursday evening while riding a bicycle and playing with his siblings. The child's mother was reportedly not far behind.

Deputies responded to reports of a toddler that was hit by a car near the 7500 block of Pitch Pine Circle in Tampa just before 7 p.m.

The driver, a male, was in a Toyota Rav 4 driving through a condo complex and stayed at the scene. He is not facing any criminal charges.

No further information was immediately available and the investigation is still ongoing.
