This story acts as an Urban Legend but I can assure you that the events leading up to it are true.
Minky Momo is a magical girl from the 80s and very popular during her run and is the likely inspiration for those who suceeded her. The series was very kid friendly and nothing really bad happens to Minky Momo herself bar a few perils typical of a standard kids programme; then during one episode she loses her powers which is then followed by her death when she is hit by a truck, while the death happened off screen, the eerie sounds of an ambulance can be heard as a toy ambulance moves towards where Momo lies. The death was so shocking it is said that the airing of the episode was followed by an Earthquake making the whole episode a bad omen. But why was Momo killed off in such a way?
The way most anime function is through sponsors, mostly from toy companies and one company pulled funding midway through Minky Momo's run due to poor toy sales; this annoyed the animators working on the anime, so as a protest they killed off Minky Momo with of all things, a truck carrying toys as a way of saying "Company X killed off your beloved favourite character", except it worked a little too well and the whole series was retconned to continue airing. This is why you don't upset the animators, let this serve as a cautionary tale of abusing power.
