A 7-year-old girl was killed after she was hit by an SUV whose driver allegedly failed to come to a complete stop at a Queens intersection, city officials say.
The deadly collision claimed the life of Naadhun Dolma, who lived a few houses down from the intersection where she died following the Friday night incident, the city's Department of Transportation said Saturday.
According to the preliminary report, the driver of a Ford Explorer, a 46-year-old woman, struck the girl as she entered the intersection at Newtown Road and 45th Street just before 6 p.m. It wasn't immediately clear if the young girl was walking inside of a crosswalk.
Police officers responding to the scene picked up the girl and rushed to her Elmhurst Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
