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.
