WINTER PARK, FL (AP) -- Authorities say a five-year-old girl was struck and killed when the driver of a sport utility vehicle ran a red light as she crossed a busy Orlando area street.
The Florida Highway Patrol says the S-U-V driver was 22-year-old Tallahassee resident Ashley Townsend. They say she dragged the girl and her two-year-old sister about 150 feet down a Winter Park street before she stopped.
Anjelica Velez was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center by helicopter but later died. Troopers say her sister Victoria Velez was in critical but stable condition, but she was not expected to live.
The girls' mother was crossing the street with them, but was not injured.
Traffic charges are pending against Townsend, but troopers say she will not be prosecuted criminally.
