An 18 year-old woman was killed Tuesday after being hit by a car that ran up onto the sidewalk. The incident occurred outside Albert Einstein Medical Center around 4:00 p.m. According to reports, the vehicle that struck the woman was, in turn, hit by another car. The vehicle that ran up onto the sidewalk was traveling north on 2nd Street when it was hit by a southbound car turning into an eastbound lane on Olney Avenue. The car hit the 18 year-old woman on the sidewalk, and then stopped after crashing into a porch.

The woman suffered multiple fractures and head trauma, and passed way around 9:50 p.m. that night. Both of the motorists were taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center, being treated for minor injuries.

Although there is an active police investigation, no charges have been filed yet.
