The Elyria Police Department gifted a new bike and helmet to the 10-year-old boy who was injured after being struck by a car in Elyria earlier this month.

The 10-year-old was riding his bike alongside Bryant "Tide" Barlett, 9, when they were struck by a vehicle on Burns Road on Oct. 12.

Bryant succumbed to his injuries, and the 10-year-old boy was airlifted by Elyria Medical Center to UH Rainbows and Babies Children's Hospital in critical condition.
