A 12-year-old boy died Tuesday as he biked home from his neighbor's house

Lt. Mitch Gibson with the Chippewa County Sheriff's Department says it happened just east of Hallie on County Road UN a little before noon.

Gibson says a 12-year-old Levi R. Stokka was pulling out of the driveway directly across the street from his own. That's when a pickup truck came over the hill and hit him, pushing him a couple hundred feet up the road.

The driver of the pickup truck, Randall B. Jensen of Augusta, stopped and was not hurt.

Gibson says crews were on the scene shortly after. He says they tried to save Stokka, but he died a short while later.

The Chippewa County Sheriff's Department and the State Patrol are still investigating the crash.
