A 17-year-old died after she was hit near Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas, police said.

On Tuesday, Summer Lynn was crossing Village Parkway West and France Family Drive just before 9 p.m.

As Lynn was doing so, a car that was heading north hit her.

Lynn was transported to an area hospital in critical condition.

She succumbed to her injuries late Wednesday afternoon, police said.

The driver who hit Lynn stated at the scene and cooperated with police.

The incident happened during the weather-delayed start of the U.S. Open Cup match at Children's Mercy Park, police said.
