A 59-year-old man arrested on suspicion of hitting and killing a 13-year-old boy with his pickup truck in Dana Point had two prior arrests for driving under the influence and was on probation for one of them, authorities said.

Bradley Gene Funk of San Juan Capistrano was found by witnesses about two to three miles away from the crash site and taken into custody by deputies, Orange County sheriff’s officials said.

The crash occurred just after 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19, near Park Lantern and Dana Point Harbor Drive. The boy, Luis Adrian Morales-Pacheco of San Juan Capistrano, was walking with his brother to school and died at a hospital, officials said.

Funk’s truck hopped the curb and struck the sixth-grader with Funk continuing to drive on, sheriff’s Sgt. Lizbeth Gwisdalla said.
