Kevin Lyons, a 7-year-old boy from Colebrook, New Hampshire, lost his life on Tuesday after being struck by a truck on Route 3. According to authorities, the child darted into the roadway from behind a parked vehicle near the Rite Aid pharmacy and was hit by an oncoming tractor-trailer.

The vehicle belonged to the New Hampshire Technical College in Berlin and was being driven as part of a training session.
