The Alabama State Trooper has just arrived on the scene. There are skid marks on the roadway where a semi slammed on brakes to keep from hitting the child a second time. The child is reported to have been struck by a Suburban that was pulling a trailer.

As we get more information we will update.

UPDATED @ 5:56 PM

The preliminary information was a child was struck. THAT INFORMATION IS INCORRECT but was the first information relayed.

We have learned from Alabama State Trooper PIO Kevin Cook a 28 year old female opened the door and fell from a moving vehicle. The female is in critical condition and has been transported by FLATIRON to SAMC in Dothan.

The female was not struck by a vehicle but fell from a moving vehicle.
