Fayetteville, N.C. — A 6-year-old girl was killed and her mother was critically hurt when a car hit them while they were walking along Reilly Road on Monday evening, police said.

Natasha Kinard, 29, was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, then transferred to a larger medical facility for treatment, police said. Her 6-year-old daughter, who has not yet been identified, was also taken to the hospital, where she died overnight.

Police said the pedestrians were both wearing dark clothing, and the driver, 53-year-old George E. Chapin, of 6855 Shawcross Lane in Fayetteville, apparently did not see them.

The accident is still under investigation. No charges have been filed.

North Carolina cities are not pedestrian friendly. Why do the cities here hate sidewalks and lights? Even in Raleigh there are some dark streets without sidewalks in the heart of the city. You can't even find phonebooths hardly anymore. Stupid.

Yet another incident... Fayetteville Police are investigating an incident where a woman was hit by a van overnight at the intersection of Camden and Cumberland Roads. It happened just before 5 a.m. Police say Winford Riddle, 65, was driving a Chevrolet van when he hit the victim just before 5 a.m. Tuesday. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene and has not been identified at this time.

The incident is still under investigation. No charges have been filed.

Why do people have to be killed before things change? They can dig up the road to add red light cameras but no sidewalks. (Theres a section of Reily Road where you have to be in the street to get from one side to the other because of a bridge.)People that live off Reily Road have to use it to access the numerous stores and businesses and everyone doesn't drive.
