A 15-year-old girl from Minnesota City died last night due to injuries sustained after falling out of a truck on early Saturday morning.

The 15-year-old was riding in the back seat of a Dodge pick-up truck that was going about 20 to 25 mph.

The driver, who was a friend of the family, said the girl told him she didn’t feel well.

The next thing he heard was the back driver-side door open and she was no longer in the car.

A Winona-area ambulance came across the vehicle and the girl lying on the ground soon after it happened.

She was air-lifted to Gundersen Lutheran Hospital in La Crosse, where she died yesterday.

Police say there is nothing to indicate anything suspicious in the incident.
