Tucson, AZ : 2-year-old girl succumbs to injuries from vehicle collision at Valencia and Palo Verde roads on Thursday, OCT 22, 2015
Tucson police say a 2-year-old girl who was injured in a vehicle collision last week has died.
Police spokesman Pete Dugan says Asha Namagara succumbed to her injuries at a hospital Sunday.
Authorities say the collision occurred Thursday around 12:30 p.m. at Valencia and Palo Verde roads.
According to officers, a Ford Taurus carrying two adults, a 4-year-old girl and Namagara collided with an oncoming Nissan Versa that was making a left turn.
The Taurus' other three occupants and the driver of the Versa were all transported with minor injuries.
Dugan says neither child was restrained in a car seat.
Police say impairment and speed do not appear to be factors in the accident.
The incident marks the 48th traffic-related fatality in Tucson this year.
