5-year-old girl killed while riding her bicycle

Wash. (AP) - A 5-year-old girl was killed Sunday in Vancouver, Washington, after she was hit by a truck while riding her bicycle.

The victim was Selena ********** of Vancouver.

She died at Southwest Washington Medical Center of head trauma after the 11:30 a.m. accident.

The accident was witnessed by the girl's twin sister. It happened outside her home.

Police say the driver of the 1999 Ford F350 pickup truck that struck her, 31-year-old *********** Jones of Vancouver, was not speeding.

This is just part of the article. It went on to say she didn't have a helmet. She only died due to the head injury and would still be alive if she were wearing a helmet.
Slim I'm not going to put peoples full names up on something like this. That's just wrong.

Answer
For once I won't actually make a smart comment here.
Unfortunately they are only speculating that by wearing a helmet would have saved her life.
It may have helped but you never know.
That really sucks though.

Helmet laws in vancouver?

aaronbouge

Im not here to debate whether or not I should wear a helmet, im just wondering if legally i HAVE to in vancouver b.c.? or is it only required for people under 18?
bicycle helmets!

Answer
It's totally legal to walk around the streets without a helmet. (See why you need to post questions carefully?)

On a bicycle or a motorcycle, helmets are required. On a bike, I must admit the enforcement is weak. On a motorcycle, you'll be pulled over by the first officer who spots you.
