A Casey County teen remains in critical condition after being struck Tuesday on East KY 80 in Adair County.

Deputies from the Adair County Sheriff’s Office responded to the call around 4pmCT, about 4 miles east of Columbia.

A young unidentified white male was pushing his bike in the middle of the roadway, when he was hit by a 2007 Chevy pickup, driven by 79 year old William Bryant, of Columbia, as he came over a small rise.

The young man had no form of identification on him.

With the help of Casey County Sheriff Chad Weddle, the victim was later identified as 17 year old Avel Vundorin of Casey County. He is listed still in very critical condition at University of KY  ICU.

We ask you keep this young man and his family in your prayers.
