BIKEIOWA NOTE: This fatality happened in Moline IL. We included it as it was thought the boy had lived in Davenport, but he did not. Still a very sad story.

The Rock Island County Coroner, Brian Gustafson, identified the 13-year-old boy who was killed in Moline after a traffic accident with a Moline Police vehicle as Charles W. Hubbard of Moline. The child was riding his bicycle at the time of the accident.

Police were originally responding to a disturbance call in the block of 41st Street and 12th Avenue. The child was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.
