According to a news release from state police at Dublin, the accident happened around 9:12 a.m., when the girl turned left from the stop sign at the end of Traugers Crossing Road and into the path of an oncoming vehicle.
The girl–who was operating a 2022 Infiniti QX80–turned onto Rt. 412 southbound “without verifying that the roadway was clear of oncoming traffic,” police said.
The oncoming vehicle was identified by police as a northbound 2011 Ford F-250 Supercab operated by a 27-year-old man from Riverside, N.J.
Neither the man nor his male passenger were injured in the crash, the news release said.
