Girl, 4, struck and killed by car in driveway of H.B. home
A 4-year-old Huntington Beach girl died Saturday when a relative accidentally struck her with her vehicle as she was pulling into the driveway, police said.
The Huntington Beach Police Department arrived in the area of Edgewater Lane and Diablo Circle at about 5:30 p.m. and found that the girl had been struck by a 2015 white GMC Yukon being driven by a 65-year-old relative, according to a news release from the department.
Based on a preliminary investigation, police said it appears the woman was pulling into the driveway and didn’t see the child.
The Orange County coroner’s office identified the child as Brooklyn Nosek. She was taken to UCI Medical Center, where she died of her injuries.
The relationship between the girl and the driver was not released.
Police said they believe the incident was an accident and are asking anyone with information to call accident investigator Robert Barr at (714) 536-5666.
