A 4 year old girl was killed Saturday after being hit by a car in front of her home. St. Mary Parish Sheriff David Naquin tells KATC his deputies got the call at 6:48 pm. They were dispatched to Easy St. in Franklin in reference to an accident with a vehicle hitting a 4 year old juvenile on a bike.

A 16 year old boy hit his neighbor while driving down the dead end street. A vehicle in front of the teen swerved to avoid the child, but Naquin says the teen who hit the child didn't notice in time.

The child was transported to Franklin Foundation Hospital where she was pronounced dead. The accident is still under investigation with pending charges.
