A teenage girl and her toddler sister were hit in a crosswalk Wednesday afternoon and taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The accident took place in a marked crosswalk in the 12600 block of 100th Ave. N.E. in Kirkland.

The toddler suffered a head laceration and was released from the hospital, while her sister sustained injuries to her leg and pelvic region that required surgery.

The sisters were crossing eastbound in the crosswalk after traffic in the first lane had come to a stop. They continued to cross when a white SUV in the second southbound lane failed to stop and struck them both.

The vehicle’s front passenger side windshield was broken by the impact.

The driver of the vehicle remained on scene until police arrived.

The Kirkland police department is conducting the ongoing investigation.
