Two girls were taken to hospitals Wednesday after a driver struck them as they crossed near 107th Avenue and Indian School Road in Phoenix.
Phoenix police responded to the crash on Nov. 11, according to 12News. Officers said the girls were juveniles and did not release their ages. The driver remained at the scene, and police said they did not believe impairment was a factor.
One girl was hospitalized with serious injuries; the other had injuries that were not life-threatening.
Police expected 107th Avenue to be restricted during the investigation. They had not released further details about the driver or vehicle.
Phoenix's broader pedestrian-safety planning
A City of Phoenix pedestrian-risk study identified 46 intersections and 128 road segments as high risk citywide; it does not establish whether this crash location was among them. Separately, the city says the council approved its Vision Zero Road Safety Action Plan in September 2022 and allocated $10 million annually for implementation, a citywide commitment that does not identify a measure specific to the crash site.
107th Avenue was expected to be restricted while officers investigated. Police had not released further details about the driver or the vehicle.
