A 4-year-old Worcester boy was killed Sunday after he was hit by a car while riding his blue Huffy bike, police said.

Family identified the toddler as Jesiah Rivera. The boy was riding his bike on Laurel Street Sunday afternoon when he peddled from the sidewalk into a parking lot. A family friend was pulling out of his parking spot and hit the boy, police and family said.

The man, who was driving a Nissan Armada, drove the boy and his father to the hospital, police said.

Shortly afterward, Reina Sanchez got a call from the hospital saying her son had died.

"He was a great big brother," Sanchez told The Worcester Telegram & Gazette. "He loved to make us laugh."

Sanchez set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral costs.

"I don't know how I'm going to continue my life without him he was the life of the party and loved us all way too much," Sanchez wrote on the page. "For who ever met him knows how sweet my baby was."

The crash remains under investigation. No charges or citations have been filed.
