An 8-year-old girl from Woodbridge, Virginia, has died after being struck by a car earlier this month, Prince William County police say.
Due to the victim’s age, her name will not be released to the public, according to a news release from police Saturday.
Police said the girl’s death resulted from injuries sustained during a crash on April 10 at around 6 p.m. in the 12200 block of Nutmeg Court in Woodbridge.
A 69-year-old woman was driving at a slow speed when police said she hit the girl, who was sitting in the roadway.
The child was stuck under the car, officers said. She was removed from underneath the vehicle and taken to the hospital.
Investigators said the child later died due to her injuries.
Speed, alcohol and drugs were not considered factors in the crash. The 69-year-old woman will not be criminally charged in this crash, police said.
