A California family is heartbroken after a tragic accident cut a child's life short.

According to Fox 40, 9-year-old Johnny Davis was riding down Tim Bell Road with his father in Waterford.Tim Bell Road is “a really steep road right there, and apparently as (Johnny) was riding down, he was unable to stop and went into the intersection," Sheriff’s Department spokesman Sgt. Tom Letras told the Modesto Bee.

A pickup truck collided with Johnny. Letras said the driver had no chance to avoid the crash.

A GoFundMe page set up to help with hospital and funeral expenses recounts the accident: “Johnny Davis was headed to the river for some time with his dad. They were riding their bikes and Johnny’s bike took on too much speed. He was unable to stop at the crossing. A pickup driver hit him while he crossed the street. Johnny was taken home to be with the Lord in the presence of his earthly father, Adam.”

The boy was taken to Memorial Medical Center for treatment, where he died from his injuries.

A spokesperson for the church Johnny attended said the boy will be remembered as kind and always smiling.
