BARTLESVILLE, Okla. - A 10-year-old girl was transported to Jane Phillips Medical Center Thursday afternoon after she was hit by a truck while riding her bike.
Bartlesville Police Department Capt. Scott Owen said the accident occurred at around 3:13 p.m. at the intersection of Santa Fe Avenue and Cudahy Street.
Reportedly the girl was riding east on Cudahy with a number of other children when she rode past the yield sign onto Sante Fe Avenue where she was struck by southbound pickup truck.
