This Sunday, a man was killed during a traffic accident in Canyon Country.  Now, the police say that the man has been identified as 15 year old Eric Michael Gilhooley.

Police say that the accident occurred at approximately 10:22 AM.  Prior to the collision, a vehicle had been traveling westbound on Soledad Canyon Road when it struck the curb, hitting and killing Gilhooley.  The pedestrian accident took place near the intersection of Soledad Canyon Road and Gailxy Avenue.

Following the collision, police officers had to close roads for numerous hours to conduct investigations.  Detectives later determined that Gilhooley was standing on the curb when he was hit by a car that was driven by a 47 year old man.  The driver of the vehicle suffered minor injuries and it is reported that alcohol did not play a role in the crash.

At this time, no arrests have been made.
