She was transported to hospital where she died of her injuries.
Investigators are still trying to determine the sequence of events that led to the fatal accident but have ruled out speed and alcohol as factors in the crash.
The driver of the car, a woman in her 40s, could be issued a ticket for failing to stop at a crosswalk.
It is too soon in the investigation to say whether she could face any criminal charges.
