A four-year-old girl seriously injured in a vehicle crash involving a Tulsa fire engine has died.
Makiya'Lynn Chatmon died on Tuesday while a one-year-old died earlier this week -- bringing to four the number killed in the wreck, Fox23 reported.
The Tulsa fire engine, with its emergency equipment activated as it was responding to a fire call, struck the car after it reportedly turned in front of it. After the collision, the car hit a utility pole.
A 23-year-old woman and a five-year-old girl died at the scene.
The driver as well as a pregnant woman, who lost her baby, remain hospitalized.
Firefighters aboard the engine, who were not hurt, immediately started rendering aid to the victims.
A vigil to remember the victims was held Tuesday night.
The latest victim, Makiya, was remembered as a fun-loving girl.
"She was energetic. The peace sign she would put it up and she was just a glimmer of hope, but the hope ain’t gone. We still see the glimmer," Adrian Colbert Sr., a family member, said.
He added that her family had prayed hard that she would pull through.
"It was the end of a journey that we didn’t want to take the road but now we can finally come together as a family and grieve now," he said.
