COVINGTON - A 17-year-old boy riding a bike was seriously injured Wednesday night when he was hit by a car.

The teen, from Latonia, was unconscious Thursday at University Hospital, Covington police said. Lt. Teal Nally did not release the teen's name, though his family had been notified.

The teen was hit about 8 p.m. as he was riding near Hands Pike and Wayman Branch Road. Police had asked for the media's help to find the victim's identity because he was not carrying identification. "As a direct result of the assistance given to us by the media outlets" the victim was identified, Nally said.
