The 11-year-old girl who was critically injured when she was struck by a van in Palolo on Monday was upgraded to guarded condition at the Queen’s Medical Center today, a hospital spokeswoman said.
A silver 1989 Mitsubishi van driven by a 50-year-old woman struck the girl as she was crossing Kiwila Street at about 6:25 p.m., police said.
The girl was inside or near a crosswalk, police said. The girl was transported to the Queen’s Medical Center in critical condition. Police said speed and alcohol did not appear to be factors in the pedestrian accident which happened near the Palolo Valley District Park and Palolo Fire Station.
