The victim died at the scene, Buena Park police said.
The driver who struck her stayed at the crash site and is cooperating with the investigation.
A resident in the neighborhood told KTLA she heard a crash and screaming, so she ran outside to see what happened.
She said a cat also died in the crash and that the victim’s mother witnessed the incident.
“I ran out and I saw the girl thrown right there and the mother screaming,” Mary Mendoza told KTLA. “There was no movement of the girl.”
