A freak accident and some scary times for a young girl walking home from school.
A thirteen-year-old girl suffered serious injuries, including a concussion, when she was hit by a rogue tire in Cranston on Tuesday.
A pickup truck reportedly lost the tire while it was being driven on Dyer Avenue.
Police say the teen was crossing the street when they were struck.
The girl was taken to Hasbro Children's Hospital.
Neither speed nor alcohol/drug impairment from the pickup driver are suspected as factors.
