GREENWOOD, SC : Toddler hit by van, killed while crossing Highway 25 on April, Tuesday 4th 2017
Greenville, South Carolina
The coroner said a two-year-old girl died after being hit by a van in Greenwood late Tuesday night.
Troopers with the Highway Patrol said the girl was crossing Highway 25, about three miles south of Greenville, when she was struck by a 2006 Ford delivery van that was driving north.
Coroner Sonny Cox said Averyonna Cohen was taken to Self Regional Medical Center where she was pronounced dead at 12:03 a.m.
Cohen lived at an address on Wisewood Circle, which is just off Highway 25.
Troopers said no charges will be filed in the crash.
Anti-violence activist Jack Logan said he will host a fundraiser for the Cohen family on Thursday because they have no money for funeral expenses.
Logan said the fundraiser will be from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. Thursday at the Towne Jones Law Office, located at 116 West Court Street in Greenwood.
