Hoquiam Fire and Police responded to a bicyclist down on the sidewalk on Adams Street off Chenault Ave on Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at 1511 hours. The 10-year old girl had suffered obvious head trauma and was transported from the scene to the hospital by HFD ambulance.

In talking with the other children in the area, the girl was riding down the hill on Chenault when she tried to turn onto Adams Street, but apparently was going too fast. The bike hit the curb which vaulted the child into the nearby fence.

The girl was not wearing a bike helmet.

Sgt. David McManus with the Ocean Shores Police Department says that Officer Chris Iverson once again played a vital role in rescuing a father who had become stranded in the waters off Ocean Shores after he tried rescuing his son who had been swept out on a riptide.
