Woman Hit, Killed by Car in Arlington, Police Investigating

The Arlington Police Department is investigating a deadly crash involving a student near the University of Texas at Arlington campus.

Police said a vehicle turning southbound onto North Cooper Street from Abram Street struck a woman at about 5 p.m. Wednesday as she crossed Cooper.

The 27-year-old woman was rushed to the hospital, but later died from her injuries.

She was identified by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's office as Eneyda Lisette Sorto, of Irving.

Police said no charges are expected to be filed against the driver at this time, but they are still investigating what led to the collision.

Scott Ryan, dean of the School of Social Work, issued a statement Thursday, "We are all saddened by this loss and we send our condolences to her family and friends."

Sorto went by her middle name, Lisette. A table on the first floor of the Social Work Buliding A is set up in memory of Lisette. Students are encouraged to come by and sign the card or leave a message for Lisette's family and friends.
