Greencastle – A 19-month old girl was injured fatally yesterday by a truck driven by her father. Diana Jo Ridgway, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Ridgway, RR 1, Bainbridge, died in Putnam County Hospital here of head injuries. She was struck an hour earlier by a backing truck loaded with grave, one mile from her home. A 3-year-old brother, Louis Ridgeway Jr with whom she had been playing along the banks of a creek watched in horror as the backing truck struck his sister. Authorities said the father, who took the children to the creek with him in the truck apparently thought they were both clear of the vehicle when he backed it away from the gravel pile.  - kbz - Rest in peace dear one
