How Teaching Your Kansas City Child Pedestrian Safety at an Early Age can Save Their Life

A 4 year-old girl was killed in an apparent hit-and-run accident in Grandview, Missouri.  Neighbors discovered the body of the girl, bleeding in the street and called 911.  Witnesses say they saw a brown or gold-sh colored pick up truck leaving the scene of the accident but no one actually saw the collision.
