PHOENIX — A child is seriously hurt after being hit by a vehicle this morning near Greenway High School in north Phoenix.
Phoenix police were called to the area near 39th Avenue and Greenway Road for a reported crash involving a pedestrian.
When officers arrived, they found a girl that was seriously hurt. She was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, officials say.
ABC15 is working to learn if the girl is a student at Greenway High School. The first day of classes was today, according to the school's website.
Phoenix police are investigating what led up to the crash.
Two intersections just east of where this young girl was hit, have been ranked among the Maricopa Association of Government's top 100 most dangerous in the county.
One stop light east, at 35th Avenue and Greenway, saw more than 120 crashes from 2017 to 2021, and 59 crashes were reported at 29th Avenue and Greenway in that same time frame.
”Makes you worry about all the children in this area that go to school. Because all around this area they go really fast," said Grace, a mother who lives nearby.
