Wisconsin Girl Dies At Regions Hospital After Bike-Car Crash

SAINT PAUL, MN — A 10-year-old New Richmond, Wisconsin girl died while at Regions Hospital in Saint Paul after she was a hit by a car while riding her bike. New Richmond police said Morgan Greene collided with a 2016 Chevrolet Cruze at an intersection in town on Oct. 3 while she was not wearing a helmet.

Greene was treated at the scene by emergency crews and was later airlifted to Regions Hospital. Nobody in the Chevrolet at the time reported any injuries, and the 40-year-old driver of the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze has been cooperative with the investigation, according to police. Early indications are that neither drugs nor alcohol were factors in the crash, authorities said.

New Richmond Police Department Lieutenant Veronica Koehler announced on Facebook Saturday that Greene had died. "The hearts of the New Richmond Police Department go out to all the people affected by this tragedy," Koehler said.
