An 8-year-old girl has died after being struck by an ice cream truck she was trying to catch in Kansas City.
She was pronounced dead at a hospital Friday night. She was hit shortly after 5 p.m. Friday in the northern part of the city.
Witnesses say the girl was on a sidewalk chasing after the truck, which had pulled over to serve a customer. Police said in a statement the driver started moving again and didn’t see the girl as she darted in front of the vehicle.
Sounds like a sad accident, tho I’m curious why the driver wouldn’t expect children to be in his path. Still Ice Creme trucks are big heavy trucks, so you don’t need to hit a child at any serious speed for it to be fatal.
Remember, this isn’t a “Gun Death” so it doesn’t count.
