Young Girl Run Over By Truck
(Special to the News-Star)
WINNSBORO -- A four-year-old girl was still in serious condition at a local clinic after a truck wheel ran over her head at her home in Jigger.
The young girl was identified as Sudie Sanders, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nolan Sanders.
The Sanders child was hospitalized with cerebral concussion, contusions, and internal bleeding. She was still unconscious last night and the seriousness of her condition was undetermined.
According to her father, she was run over after jumping from the running board of a truck driven by a neighbor, N. O. Fussell, at 2:30 p.m.
Fussell drove into the Sanders yard where the child was playing and was almost at a standstill when she jumped onto the truck, then leaped off and fell beneath the right rear wheel.
