RED OAK – Red Oak Police and Fire Rescue were called to a motor vehicle accident early last week in the 400 block of South Interstate Highway 35E Service Road at around 10:45 p.m.
The accident involved a juvenile female, who had been struck by a Gray 2007 Hummer H3.

The driver of the vehicle did not sustain injuries.
The pedestrian sustained life-ending injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene by the justice of the peace.
