Louisville Metro Police responded to a report of a vehicle collision involving a pedestrian on Cane Run Road at Teakwood Circle. Officers arrived to find 16-year-old Janiah Brown who was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Police Department\u2019s preliminary investigation determined that Brown was not on a crosswalk as she was crossing Cane Run Road and was hit by two southbound vehicles. However, there are no clearly marked crosswalks in the area, which is in front of a TARC and Jefferson County Public Schools bus stop.<\/p>\n
Neighbors said they often watch kids walk to the bus stop in the dark and expressed concern over the lack of lights.<\/p>\n
There are several schools in the area, including Western High School, Farnsley Middle School and Wellington Elementary School. Metro Councilwoman Tammy Hawkins, who said she knows Brown and her family, said she is a student at Central High School.<\/p>\n
All involved parties remained at the scene. LMPD\u2019s Traffic Unit is handling the investigation.
