A 6-year-old Hopewell boy was fatally injured Sunday evening after he entered a roadway and was struck by a pickup truck in the Twin Rivers Apartment complex.

The victim, identified as Jamari Howard, was taken to John Randolph Medical Center, where he died less than two hours later.

Police said they were called at 5:28 p.m. to the apartment complex, in the 600 block of Winston Churchill Drive, for reports of a child struck by a vehicle.

Before police arrived, a good Samaritan rushed the boy to the hospital, police said.

Police said their preliminary investigation indicated that a small pickup was traveling north within the complex when the boy entered from an obstructed location and was struck.

The driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with police. It was unclear whether he lives in the complex.

No charges had been filed as of Monday, but the incident remained under investigation.
