Investigation underway in Schaumburg after 12-year-old girl struck and killed by vehicle

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - A 12-year-old girl died Monday evening after being struck by a vehicle in Schaumburg.

Police were called to the scene of the crash at the intersection of Algonquin Road and Thoreau Drive at 5:08 p.m., where the girl was found with life-threatening injuries. She was taken to a nearby hospital but did not survive, according to police.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office identified her as Angela Guan, of Palatine.

Authorities are investigating the crash and the intersection was shut down for several hours, according to police. 

Investigators, on Monday night, were photographing all aspects of the crash site.  

There, officers were focused on a dark-colored minivan, which was cordoned off by police tape. Stopped in the middle of the street, it appeared the van had been traveling eastbound on Algonquin Road.

Police said the driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation.

The accident unfolded in a heavily trafficked commercial area—between a Mobil gas station and the Park Place Shopping Center, which houses a 7-Eleven.

Several nearby agencies were assisting the Schaumburg Police Department with the investigation, including MCAT’s Crash Team.
