The girl received severe head injuries and was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center where she is listed as in critical condition.

The child bicycle accident took place around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 7900 block of 80th Avenue in Marysville when the girl was riding her bike between two cars. She rode into the path of an oncoming car and was hit.

The girl was not wearing a bike helmet at the time of the accident.

Bike helmet use by kids between the ages of 0 and 14 prevent anywhere between 382,000 to 529,000 bicycle-related injuries every year.
