At about 8 p.m. a woman and her 7-year-old daughter, Ning Et, were walking in the crosswalk at Pineland Drive and Fair Oaks Avenue when a Ford Expedition turning onto Fair Oaks struck them both, police said.
The child was pronounced deceased, and her mother was transported to the hospital. The mother's condition is not yet known, but she is stable.
