Hailey was killed Sunday when she fell off her bicycle into the path of a teenage motorcyclist. She was struck by the motorcycle and died later that night in a Boise hospital.

Woods is the daughter of James Woods, Jr., and his wife, Amy, and Christina Cnudde and her husband, Gary.

The accident occurred at approximately 5:36 p.m. on NW Bradford Ave. According to the Elmore County Sheriff's Office, after the girl fell off her bike she was struck by a motorcycle being driven by a 14-year-old male, who had been following behind her. There were reports that a 12-year-old male also was riding the bike at the time, and the two youths may be the only witnesses to the tragedy.

Although the motorcycle, described as a dirt bike, was street legal, it is not legal for a 14-year-old to be driving one on the streets. Some reports have indicated that the teen's parents were not aware of his use of the machine.

Woods was pronounced dead at 9:50 p.m. that night after being taken by air ambulance to St. Luke's Regional Medical Center.

No further details were immediately available. The teenage driver of the motorcycle, and his passenger, had not been identified by press time.

The investigation by the Elmore County Sheriff's Office is continuing.
