December 24, 2009 – A 13-year-old girl was hospitalized Thursday after being struck by a pickup truck in Lakeside, authorities said.
The girl was struck when she ran in front of a truck being driven by a 55-year-old Lakeside woman on Winter Gardens Boulevard at the intersection of Lemon Crest Drive around 5:20 p.m. Wednesday, California Highway Patrol Officer Brian Pennings told The San Diego Union-Tribune.
The woman was going about 40 miles per hour, had a green light and tried unsuccessfully to swerve to avoid the girl, he said.
The girl was apparently trying to catch up to a group of girls that had already crossed the road.
