A 7-year-old boy died following a crash Sunday night in Pittsylvania County, where alcohol is suspected to be a factor, according to Virginia State Police.
Authorities responded to the crash around 5:15 p.m. on Moorefield Bridge Road. State police said 35-year-old Corey Michael Pullin, of Danville, was driving south in a 2024 Can-Am Defender Side-by-Side when he lost control of the vehicle, which overturned. Pullin was ejected from the vehicle and transported to the hospital.
The passenger, the 7-year-old boy, was partially ejected and taken to the hospital by EMS, where he later died.
Authorities confirmed alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash. Charges are pending, and the investigation is ongoing.
