13 year old killed, three hurt in Kent accident

The driver of the vehicle that crashed into the family is cooperating with investigators. It is too early to tell whether the weather, speed, or alcohol played a role in the crash.
A 13 year old girl was killed and three of her family members were injured in a pedestrian accident when they were attempting to jaywalk across a busy street on Pacific Highway. "Several cars either slowed down or stopped for them, one vehicle did not," Kent Fire Department Captain Kyle Ohashi said. "All four were struck by a full sized pick-up truck and unfortunately one female in the group was killed." Pedestrian accidents are always tragic, and families are left dealing with grief and sadness after the loss of a loved one. Learn more here about fatal pedestrian accidents and wrongful death claims.
