On January 18, 2009, in Ada County, Illiniois, a ten year old girl died from blunt force trauma injuries when a fourteen year old boy driving a motorcycle struck the young girl from behind.  Upon the motorcycle colliding with the girl's bicycle, the motorycle accident caused the young girl to be thrown from her bicycle.  From the collision of the motorcycle as well as contact with the pavement, the young girl sustained blunt force trauma injuries as well as other serious injuries.  While the young girl sustained brain injuries as a direct result of the motorycle accident, there is no indication that she was wearing a helmet.

The young girl's death was reported within four hours of the motorcycle accident, where the young girl  was transported to St. Luke's Regional Medical Center Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Initially, the motorcycle accident and resulting fatality has been ruled as an accident, but the family of the young girl may still have rights against the young boy's family for their loss.  It is essential that they contact an attorney immediately so witnesses and data may be collected while such facts are fresh beyond the investigation being conducted by the Elmore County Sheriff's Office.
