MCSO Chief of Staff Jeremy Roy said a 10-year-old girl was riding in a vehicle with her mother and at least one other child when they heard a loud boom.
The girl then complained that her head hurt, and that’s when the mother saw blood and immediately drove to Dayton Children’s Hospital.
“Honestly, she came probably from an inch of losing her life yesterday,” Roy said.
