A man has died after he was hit by an SUV while crossing the road in Riverside last month.

The 34-year-old Dayton man was transported Jan. 24 to Miami Valley Hospital with life-threatening injuries, the Ohio State Highway Patrol previously said. Jeremiah Boyd Watts was pronounced dead three days later at the hospital, according to a crash report.

An obituary for Watts said he died on Jan. 27 from his injuries. He was described as an intelligent and hardworking man who had a big heart and put others before himself.

The crash was reported around 6:50 p.m. Jan. 24 at the intersection of Woodman and Bayside drives.

A 32-year-old Huber Heights woman driving a 2021 Kia Sorento was going south on Woodman Drive when she hit the Watts as he was crossing the street, according to the crash report.

He was not in a marked crosswalk at the time of the incident, Sgt. Tyler Ross previously said.

No other injuries were reported.
