MADISON TOWNSHIP, Ohio — An 11-year-old has died after being hit by an SUV in Madison Township, according to Sheriff Richard Jones with the Butler County Sheriff's Office.
Jones said this was an accident.
It happened just after 7 p.m. Thursday in the 6800 block of Cloister Cliffs Drive in Madison Township, near Brown's Run Golf Course.
Dispatch said the boy was airlifted to a Dayton hospital but he died from his injuries.
“Can’t really think of a more tragic accident than this one," Jones said in the news release. "My thoughts and prayers to the family and first responders to the scene."
The Butler County Sheriff's Office said the boy was a Madison Elementary School student.
Madison Local Schools announced on Friday that it was canceling classes in a social media post following an accident involving an elementary school student.
“We are heartbroken to inform you of a tragic accident involving a(n) elementary student from our Mohawk family,” the post said. “In light of this devastating event, there will be no school today for all students.”
The district said counselors are available at the elementary school for those needing support.
