Truck driver flagged down after failing to realize there had been an accident

A four-year-old girl riding on the back of a Harley Davidson has died after the motorbike collided with a truck and got trapped underneath it.



Oblivious to the bike trapped underneath his vehicle, the truck driver continued to carry out a U-turn in a Rancho Cucamonga road on Tuesday morning.



Breann Creer, from Ontario in California, had been wearing a helmet but died. The motorbike driver, a marine named only as Eric, who is dating her mother, was also injured in the crash.

Victim: Breann Creer, 4, was riding on the back of the motorbike after being picked up from school



The marine was behind the truck when it suddenly did a U-turn on a road, forcing the bike to skid underneath it, where it became trapped, according to NBC 4 .

Witnesses said they had to scream at the driver to stop, after he failed to realize there had been a crash and continued reversing and going forward to complete his turn.



' I ran and checked the baby's pulse. There was nothing,' witness Cheri Slocumb said. She said the marine was saying to the child: 'I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Breathe, baby.'

Friends and family gathered at the scene of the crash to leave sunflowers and candles for Breann. Her mother, who is pregnant, was said to be traumatized at the loss of her daughter.



Family friend Larry Jarvis said: 'The unfortunate thing is the mother is currently pregnant with another baby, so she is very devastated.'



Crash investigators have started work at the scene, and will be checking to see if Breann met the law requirements for being on the back of a motorcycle.

Under Californian law, child passengers must be eight years old, or 4ft 9in, according to CBS Los Angeles.

Eric had just picked the four-year-old up from school and was traveling in the same direction of the truck at the time of the accident.



He suffered burns to his arms, a fractured wrist and scratches to his face in the crash.
