INDIANAPOLIS -- A 5-year-old girl was seriously injured Sunday afternoon when a makeshift, truck-pulled "sled" she was riding hit a tree in north-central Indiana's Carroll County, authorities said.
The girl was on what investigators believe to be a car hood that was attached by a rope to a pickup truck. The truck, driven by the fiance of the girl's mother, was moving in circles on a property near County Road 1200 North, pulling the car hood behind it, according to Carroll County sheriff's Deputy Mark Back. <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=right border=0><TBODY><TR><TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
The girl, who lives in Carroll County, suffered a head injury when the makeshift sled hit a tree. She was taken to a Fort Wayne hospital and was listed in critical condition Monday, Back said.
The names of the girl and the driver were not released.
Back said he doesn't believe the driver will face charges, but the determination will be made by the county prosecutor's office.
