A teen was killed after being struck by a vehicle Tuesday in Avondale.
Authorities actively responded to the area of El Mirage Road and Pima Street after getting reports of an auto-pedestrian accident just before 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. The preliminary reports showed that the 14-year-old pedestrian was crossing the street when they were hit.
It is unclear if the teen was in a crosswalk at the time of the collision. The teen was immediately taken to a hospital where they were later declared dead. Impairment is not suspected to be a factor in the accident at this time. The driver involved stayed at the scene and cooperated with the investigators. No other details are available.
An investigation is ongoing.
