PELL CITY, AL (WBRC) - A Pell City teen spending spring break in Florida was killed early Wednesday morning in a traffic accident on a bridge.
The accident happened just before dawn Wednesday in Walton County, Florida.
A Florida Highway Patrol report says 15-year-old Kaden Johnson was in the bed of a Ford F-150 pickup when he fell out of the bed on the Clyde B. Wells Bridge on U.S. Highway 331.
A car traveling behind the truck then ran over him.
The report says the pickup kept going and the driver, 19-year-old Allion Orlando Hogan, was unaware his passenger fell out of the truck.
Much of Pell City found out about his death Wednesday morning when the Pell City touchdown club announced it on Facebook.
“The PCHS Touchdown Club & Coaching Staff are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our own. We would like our Panther family to remember the family of Kaden Johnson in their thoughts and prayers,” the post said.
