After being struck by a truck operated by a 16-year-old boy at Treasure Island Park, a 17-year-old Troy High School student passed away on Monday night.

Gavin Palkovic was the victim, according to authorities Tuesday afternoon.

The crime is still being investigated, according to Troy Police Chief Shawn McKinney. He stated that the Miami County Juvenile Court prosecutor will receive information from the investigation for evaluation.

A portion of the incident at the park off North Elm Street along the Great Miami River was caught on video by a city surveillance system.

McKinney claimed to have watched that footage. He claimed to have observed a pickup truck parked in the center of the parking lot with a bicycle on each side. The 16-year-old boy and an 18-year-old woman who were sitting in the truck looked to be the subjects of conversation between the bicyclists.

The pickup vehicle begins to accelerate away at a reasonable pace. The pickup truck’s driver-side bicyclist releases go. On the driver’s side was the dead. He holds on until the parking lot turns to the right, which is a bit of a turn-around area, according to McKinney.

Under the vehicle, the teenager was entrapped. Police and fire department employees attempted to free him, but were unsuccessful until additional equipment was brought in to assist in lifting the truck, according to McKinney.

The adolescent was transported to Upper Valley Medical Center, where doctors declared him deceased.
