MISSOURI VALLEY, IOWA (AP) -- Authorities say a 12-year-old girl riding a bicycle died after she was hit by a pickup truck in Harrison County in western Iowa.
The Iowa State Patrol says Amiee Marie Atwell of Little Sioux was hit Tuesday afternoon near Little Sioux.
The patrol says the pickup was traveling south and the driver went into northbound lane to go around the child, who was riding south. Troopers say the girl apparently tried to get to other side of the road and was hit.
Atwell was taken to a hospital in Missouri Valley where she died.
No charges have been filed against the driver of the pickup.
