Thoughts and Prayers to the Family and Friends of this young girl. Was she wearing any type of helmet?
This young girl was unfortunately not wearing a helmet. Prayers for her and her family.
Please if you or your children ride bikes, scooters, atv's utv's, go carts, or motorcycles, etc., - provide them with some type of helmet to protect their head and brain in case of an impact or accident!
