A 9-year-old boy was killed yesterday when his bicycle was hit by an SUV on Hill Avenue just west of Chelmsley Court, authorities said.

Rojai Hall was flown to Toledo Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:36 p.m., said Steve Kahle, an investigator with the Lucas County Coroner's Office. The boy was riding a bike on the sidewalk along eastbound Hill shortly before 6:30 p.m. when he swerved into the road and was hit by an SUV driven east on Hill by Tamala Smith, 39, of Toledo, police said.

Ms. Smith was not hurt, and no charges are expected to be filed against her, police said.
