A two-year-old girl was struck Thursday evening by an auto near her
grandparents Sugar Camp residence, about one mile from Yellow Creek
Road. Family members said the child sustained an injury to the head, among
other possible injuries.
Family members identified the child as the daughter of Kristin Jones, about
