A 10-year-old girl was airlifted to a Nashville hospital after being struck by a 2022 Dodge Ram 2500 truck in Dickson County, Tennessee, on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred on a private property on Highway 48 South around 4:30 p.m., according to a preliminary report from the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP). The girl had just exited a school bus when the truck, which was circulating on the property, hit her near the side of a driveway on top of a small hill. The driver of the truck was not injured, and no charges were listed in the preliminary report. This accident follows closely on the heels of other tragic incidents involving children in Tennessee, including the death of an 11-year-old boy, Colton Thomas, who was hit by a dump truck while bicycling to school in Tullahoma, and the death of a 2-year-old in Lobelville who was accidentally run over by a family member in a driveway.
