Police said the woman was crossing the intersection of South King and Coolidge streets with several friends when she was hit by a Ford Taurus driven by a 64-year-old woman. The pedestrian was in a crosswalk at the time of the incident, police said.

The woman was taken to The Queen's Medical Center in critical condition. She died at 2:38 p.m. Tuesday, police said.

The case initially was classified as a negligent injury, but was reclassified yesterday as a negligent homicide case.

The woman's death is the 46th traffic fatality on Oahu this year compared with 41 at the same time last year.
