Girl on bike hit by car

A 9-year-old girl riding a bike was hit by a car Saturday in the 800 block of Panorama Drive.

Colorado Springs Police said the girl darted into the road from behind a pickup truck that was parked at the curb.

She was struck by a car driven by 47-year-old Lenore Heckman. Police said Heckman could not avoid the collision and that speed or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the crash.

Police said the girl was wearing a safety helmet and and her injuries were not life threatening.
