A 7-year-old girl has died days after she was struck by a car as she and other kids crossed a busy street on Tucson's southwest side, police said.
The unidentified girl was struck about 4 p.m. Tuesday in the 2800 block of South Mission Road, near West 36th Street, Tucson police said Thursday in a news release.
The girl was among a group of juveniles who got off a bus and were trying to make it across Mission, the release said.
"The group crossed mid-block, outside of any marked or unmarked crosswalks, heading toward an apartment complex on the west side of the road," the release said. "The child, who was the last to cross, was struck by a northbound Chevrolet Impala."
The unidentified 56-year-old driver remained at the crash scene and cooperated with police, the release said. "Potential impairment on the part of the driver remains under investigation, and the case is ongoing," the release said.
