There was a fatal car collision Friday night (October 7, 2016) in Aurora after which a 9-year-old girl died from accident injuries.

According to preliminary investigation results from the Aurora Police Department, the two-car collision occurred at approximately 9:10 p.m., as a Toyota minivan was driving northbound on Broadway Avenue, just south of Pierce Street.  At that time, a southbound Cadillac Deville drifted into the northbound lanes.  The minivan’s driver tried to avoid the car by turning sharply to the left; however, the Cadillac hit the minivan on the passenger’s side.  The minivan then struck a building on Broadway.

One of the minivan’s passengers, a 9-year-old girl who was sitting on the passenger side of the minivan, was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Aurora.  She was pronounced dead at 9:44 p.m.  Two other girls, ages 10 and 12, were also taken to the hospital for treatment of their accident injuries, which were considered to be non-life-threatening.

The 9-year-old girl’s mother refused medical treatment.
