Police reported that the accident occurred on Friday night at 5:00 p.m. in the 5900 block of North Tyron Street near the intersection of Orr Road. According to these reports, the female child had been standing in the median near the crosswalk, and stepped into the lane.
A 2000 Honda Civic was driving in the lane at the time, and struck the child. The teen was transported to Carolinas Medical Center for treatment, but passed away shortly after 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.
