PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, PA — Police are continuing to investigate a tragedy that occurred in Montgomery County in August when a child fell off a truck driven by a neighbor and died.

The incident occurred at around 8:36 p.m. on Aug. 22.

The girl and four other neighborhood children were playing outside when the truck's driver, an adult man, offered to give them a ride in the bed of his Isuzu Elf truck, police said.
