ANAMOSA, Iowa — An Iowa boy has died, days after his sled crossed in front of an SUV and was struck.

The Iowa State Patrol said 13-year-old Adam McWherter was injured Jan. 10 while sledding at his home in the eastern Iowa town of Anamosa. He was struck when the sled went into a road.

Adam was hospitalized after the accident but died Saturday.

The patrol said the accident remains under investigation.

The crash comes nearly two years after a boy who was sledding died in a hit-and-run in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. A pickup driver kept going after striking the 12-year-old victim, police said.
