A 10-year-old boy who was hit by a van in Fort Pierce Wednesday evening has died, according to Fort Pierce police.
The crash happened at 9:30 p.m. near Orange Avenue and 18th Street.
Officials say Antzavious Ellison ran into the road and was hit by a van driving westbound.
The child was taken to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries Thursday morning.
No charges have been filed against the driver, but officials say the child's uncle was charged with battery after he attacked the driver, punching him several times through the van window.
