Idaho girl, 10, killed after 4-inch rock flies through windshield
A young Idaho girl tragically was killed this week when she was riding with her dad in a vehicle and a 4-inch rock flew through a windshield, hitting her head.
The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office said that Kambrie Horsley, 10, of Malad, was being driven by her father, Brad Horsley, the Oneida County coroner, when the accident unfolded Monday afternoon, the Idaho State Journal reported Friday.
A semi-truck driving the same road, Daniels Road — about 10 miles northwest of Malad, which itself sits roughly 105 miles south of Idaho Falls — had unknowingly dislodged the rock from the roadway, according to the paper.
Kambrie’s dad rushed her to nearby Oneida County Hospital and she was then airlifted to Salt Lake City’s Primary Children’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead later Monday, according to ISJ.
Pointing to no wrongdoing, authorities ruled it a tragic accident, the paper reports.
In investigating the crash, the sheriff’s office found the semi driver, who had no previous knowledge his truck had sent the rock at the car, according to the outlet.
