A Clearfield girl was struck by a car and killed Thursday night as she ran across Hill Field Road just south of the South Gate of Hill Air Force Base.
Killed was:KayLynn Knox, 7, Clearfield.
Layton Police Sgt. Dale May said the girl was with a group of children who crossed the four-lane highway from a mobile home park on the east side to another one on the west side of the road.
She told the group at 8 p.m. that it was time to return, May said, and turned around, running back onto the road in front of an oncoming car driven by Steven J. Johnson Jr., 19, an airman on the base.
Johnson was unable to avoid hitting the girl, even though he laid down skid marks over 100 feet long on the highway, May said. The victim was declared dead on arrival at Davis Hospital. No citation was issued, May said.
