PHOENIX - Authorities said an unidentified man on a bicycle was struck and killed Wednesday by a juvenile that took his mother's SUV for a ride.
The man was riding the bike about 8:45 p.m. in the 1200 block of East Elwood Street when the vehicle hit him.
He died at the scene, according to a police supervisor.
The officer could not say what would happen to the driver of the SUV, a 15-year-old boy, but the case will be referred to Phoenix police's vehicle crimes unit.
No further information was available.
And you know what will happen - the boy, because he is underage, will not get any jail time. A slap on the wrist. Another one of us gets taken down without any consequence.
