LITTLETON, Colo. — A woman involved in a crash that killed a seventh-grader on a bicycle last month was issued a citation Tuesday.
Littleton Police said Beth Ann Hutchinson, 39, was cited on suspicion of careless driving resulting in death in the crash that killed Liam Stewart, 13, a student at Euclid Middle School.
The crash happened just after 8 a.m. Oct. 17 at the intersection of South Elati Street and West Arapahoe Road near the school. Stewart was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said Hutchinson stayed at the scene.
According to the crash report, Hutchinson was going east on Arapahoe and Stewart was going north on Elati. Hutchinson hit Stewart while driving through the intersection at Elati, and indicated that she was unable to see because of the morning sunrise.
"Any loss of life is difficult, but the loss of a child is heartbreaking," police said in a news release. "LPD is grieving with the family and friends of the child and with those impacted in our community."
In a letter to families last month, Euclid principal Amanda Hurley said counselors, administrators and members of the district support team were available at the school "and will be for as long as we need them to provide support to our students, staff and community."
