A man died and a child was critically injured after being hit by cars in Phoenix on Monday.
A 39-year-old man, Michael McKelvey, died after being hit by a car in Phoenix's Maryvale neighbourhood just before 6 a.m. on Monday. He was struck near 59th Avenue and McDowell Road while crossing the street mid-block, not at a crosswalk. McKelvey was taken to hospital in critical condition but died shortly after arrival.
The driver remained at the scene and was cooperative with police. Investigators do not believe impairment was a factor in the collision. McDowell Road between 59th Avenue and 61st Avenue was briefly closed while detectives investigated the incident.
In a separate incident the same day, a child was critically injured after being hit by a car near 35th and Peoria Avenues in north Phoenix just before 6:30 p.m. Police believe the driver may have been impaired, though it is unclear whether the driver was arrested at the scene. The child's age and gender were not released. The road was restricted for several hours during the investigation but has since reopened.
