A 13-year-old girl died hours after being struck by a garbage truck driver.
Cary police say they responded to a pedestrian hit complaint at the Cornerstone Shopping Center soon after 10:00 a.m. on Friday.
An inquiry indicated that the adolescent was in the crosswalk when she was struck by a motorist who failed to cede the right of way.
The adolescent was transported to a hospital, where she subsequently died.
Police said Adrian Holt, 54, of Raleigh, has been charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle, failing to yield to lower speed, and carrying a concealed firearm.
Because of her age, authorities will not reveal the girl’s identity.
