Police searched Friday for the driver of a gray or black Mercedes-Benz sedan that fatally struck a middle-school girl as she was crossing a street in Brentwood.
The girl was reportedly crossing on foot against a red light ahead of her mother about 7:20 a.m. as she tried to catch a school bus in the 100 block of North Cliffwood Drive, police said.
My sympathy goes out to this girl’s family. – Peter Duke
