According to investigating North Carolina Highway Patrol Trooper C.L. Daye, Zachary Bradsher, 8, of Reade Drive, was riding a bicycle in a driveway at 1037 Younger Rd. shortly after 6:30 p.m. driveway.

“He rode the bike out of the driveway into the roadway and was hit by a vehicle,” Trooper Daye said.

Lisa Lewis, 42, of White Oak Drive was driving the vehicle, a Ford Expedition, according to Daye. He said Lewis was eastbound at the time and speed was not a factor in the accident. Daye also noted that no charges were filed in connection with the wreck.

Bradsher was taken by Person County EMS to Person Memorial Hospital. He was later transferred via medical helicopter to Duke University Medical Center where, Daye said, he was in intensive care Thursday evening.
