CHEHALIS – A teenager hit by a truck on a county road in Adna after dark on Saturday night was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with severe injuries.

Firefighters called about 9:25 p.m. to the 600 block of Twin Oaks Road learned the girl had run out in front of a pickup truck traveling about 55 mph, according to the Chehalis Fire Department.

The 14-year-old Chehalis girl and her friends had been waiting at the end of a driveway for a taxi to take them to Chehalis, according to authorities.

As the taxi stopped, she ran behind it and into the lane of travel, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.

Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said the 61-year-old man from Pe Ell tried to stop, but wasn’t able to.

The girl was knocked forward probably 90 feet, but not run over, according to Fire Capt. Derrick Paul.

Responders treated her for head trauma , lacerations and internal injuries, Paul said. The fire captain said the impact left significant damage to the hood and grill of the Ford F250 pickup.

The patient was transported to the airport, where she was airlifted to the Seattle hospital, he said.

    The problem with this web site is there is no real verification of whos who. It should be face book linked for identity. Im wondering if the Sleeping Giant or who ever said any of this. Just a thought.

    I apologise for the bad grammar and misspelled words using my phone, and second I’m not really worried about it at this point in time.

  8. Crystal says:

    True mark of maturity is when someone hurts you and you dont feel the need to hurt them back. This was a terrible accident for all parties involved. Please keep in mind that this 14 year old girl will see all of this ridiculous fighting and will not help her heal emotionally. We are all happy she survived. The rest is nobodies else business except her family.

  9. R Thomas says:

    I am speaking of the comments not the article.

  10. R Thomas says:

    I think our teachers here in Lewis County need to be working on spelling and grammar. I have never seen such terrible writing before.

    Prayers go out to this poor girl and her family.

  11. o my god says:

    When I was in high school i witnessed a friend get ran over on airport rd ( Rachel Bartlett) . One of the worst things I’ve ever seen. And the pain that her family went through was terrible. SHOW RESPECT FOR PEOPLE IN THEIR TIME OF NEED!! My families prayers are with you..giant grow up ..lil man..

  12. CrazyOldMan says:

    Years ago I saw a young girl, trying to cross the street, hit by a van and dragged under it for about 100′. It was one of the most horrible things that I have ever seen. At first my brain just wouldn’t accept that was a person being dragged under that vehicle.

    I don’t know how, as the accident was very violent, but this girl lived, albeit with injuries for the rest of her life.

  13. Steven rohr says:

    It’s funny how you say I threatened u when in fact all that I said face me not a 14 year old that is currently in the hospital and actually by me saying that did what I intended it to do you face me and made yourself look like lewis county’s biggest jackass now about who really threatened who well my friend I see at least three death threats to me from u not good go ahead and call the sheriff’s office cause I think that u would be the one that would be in trouble to everyone else thank you for all the prayers and support she is recovering and should make a full recovery

  14. Steven rohr says:

    Funny thing Is I didn’t know say face me not a 14 year old is a threat no on the contrary you did exactly what I expected u to do faced me and made yourself look like lewis county’s biggest jackass freedom of speech pal also how would u feel if this was one of your family and a said what u did maybe next time you can at least have a little curiosity of others but I think that is high hopes and as far as threats go I think you threatened me with death on several occasions not good my friend

  15. Peggy Salmon says:

    Is the speed limit 55??? After dark, in the rain and wind…..55 mph??
    She ran out in front of the driver, but wasn’t 55 mph a bit fast for conditions?!

  16. o my god says:

    Giant your the topical big mouth liberal .keep your paranoid rants yourself. Or grow eyes in the back of your head. SCUM BAG .

  17. Who threatened you? says:

    I c a concerned family member worried about thier cousin. Your very 1st comment was rude. I c no threats except the ones u’ve made. Yes free speech and u started it with ur very first comment about this story. Can u wish anyone good luck on recovery or do you need to b negative all the time? This family is hurting right now and very worried there was no need to say that 1st comment!

  18. The Sleeping Giant says:

    Funny think im sitting over here unprotected bring your violence. I will stand my ground i have no reason to retreat in my own castle..I never threatened any one. Im thinking about calling the sheriff on this one so if your lying dead on my door step i have just cause. Never threated violence not once. Your Ip addresses are just a simple warrant. This would be a good lewis county sirens story. Either take down the posts or im going to the Sheriff for internet threats. Think about what these comments mean. My words were never violent. I give you 24 hours Sharyon

  19. The Sleeping Giant says:

    Just like i thought sharyon let em threaten me. You know i just might call the sheriff on this on the threats are in black and white. I have never made any threats to anyone here. Yet you dont censor threats. Liable. Think about it.

  20. The Sleeping Giant says:

    I would post my address but on sharyons chicken shit web site she just allows violent threats towards me and censors my comment. Come on over and find out what i have for your. The nice thing is it will be recorded and i go free. Come to my castle and bring your threats. I have no duty to retreat at my home. Dont like free speach move to Russia

  21. The Sleeping Giant says:

    Lol talk is cheap, come to my castle…when your laying dead on my door step dont say i didnt warn you. Oh and your ip can be traced. I just get call the cops for the threat and the police will get a warrant for your ISP address confirm you threatened me for free speech then you go to jail. Think about what your saying TSG. Even internet threats are a crime lucky i havent not called the sheriff all ready and have your butt thrown in jail. Now thats Darwin

  22. The Sleeping Giant says:

    Where do you want to meet? Im ready just look up my address. It would be nice to see you come. My security cameras will record the justified homicide. Come to my castle im waiting. If you you allow people to post threats sharyon your just as liable. Shall i post my adress i have adt and cameras come bring the violence.
