CINCINNATI - Cincinnati police say 8-year-old Devar Johnson was struck and killed in East Price Hill Friday afternoon while standing on the sidewalk.
According to police, the Rees E. Price Academy student was getting off his school bus near the intersection of Grand and Glenway avenues around 2:30 Friday afternoon. Police say a Chevrolet Malibu driven by 24 year-old Yolanda Washington struck and killed him.
"We're still trying to piece together again exactly who was where and trying to figure out what the exact cause of the driver, what caused her to leave the roadway," said Sgt. Danita Kilgore with the Cincinnati Police Department.
There was a crossing guard at the intersection Grand and Glenway avenues, police said.
At this point police are not releasing if Washington will face charges.
