PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis. — A GoFundMe was created for a Pleasant Prairie family after a 3-year-old boy was hit and killed by a pickup truck this weekend.
On Sunday morning, 3-year-old Brody Edmonds was grabbing a ball in front of a parked pickup truck when police say he was hit. According to police, Brody's father pulled the truck forward not knowing Brody was in front of it.
