"The beetle was rushing. The beetle was roaring. The beetle raised its speed. The beetle was whining. The beetle was in high thunder. The beetle came skimming. The beetle came in a single whistling trajectory, fired from an invisible rifle. It was up to 120 mph. It was up to 130 at least. Montag clamped his jaws. The heat of the racing headlights burnt his cheeks, it seemed, and jittered his eye-lids and flushed the sour sweat out all over his body."

She was almost killed when a truck hit her at the age of 2.
The book never says if she died or not, but Montag is led to believe she was hit by a car that was street racing. In the play, she's with the hobos at the end.

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades. It means there is no such thing as almost shot, almost in a head-on collision, almost had a heart attack, almost scored, almost sank that putt, or almost won the lottery.

In other words, it means exactly what it says. Your experience of ``close``has nothing to do with the reality of ``missed.``
