The girl had been playing outside when a man in their Plymouth Township neighborhood gave them a ride in the back of his Isuzu Elf pickup truck on Tuesday night, Aug. 22, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele said.
As the driver turned a corner at the intersection of Jolly and Harvard Roads in Plymouth Township, the 7-year-old fell out of the truck, the DA said alongside Plymouth Township Police Chief John C. Myrsiades.
