PHOENIX — A 78-year-old woman riding a mobility scooter died after she was struck by a vehicle near 21st and Northern avenues in north-central Phoenix on Monday afternoon, Oct. 5, police said, according to KTAR News.
Phoenix police said Adela Franco De Aiello was in the crosswalk but crossing against the traffic signal when she was hit. She was taken to a hospital, where she died.
The driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with officers, and police do not believe impairment was a factor. Detectives from the department’s Vehicular Crimes Unit are investigating.
