Both vehicles involved are the type that make it impossible to see kids standing 10 feet away. These should he banned unless a second person is spotting, like what you'd do around construction vehicles.

A 9-year-old girl is dead after being hit by a truck...

The driver of the pickup was not injured in the collision.

You forgot:

The truck was not damaged by the unprovoked child ambush

Now there's peak carbrain, just phrase it as insanely as when cops shoot a completely innocent person for no reason.

jfc like anybody asked, why even include that

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

I see it in every article when a pedestrian or cyclist is killed, as if there was a chance the driver would be even mildly injured. Or that anyone would care, seeing how they killed someone else.

It's infuriating.
