<\/a>SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014<\/p>\nFamily and friends gathered Friday night to remember 15-year-old Tyana Jones, two weeks after she was struck by a vehicle at a south Sacramento intersection and later died.<\/p>\n
Loved ones returned to Bruceville and Calvine roads, where Jones was hit on Sept. 11.<\/p>\n
Her mother told KCRA 3 that she spoke with Jones just after 4:30 p.m. that day. The teenager told her she was heading to a football game.<\/p>\n
Later that evening, Sacramento police responded to Bruceville and Calvine roads after Jones was struck by a vehicle. She was taken to a hospital, where she died two days later, on Sept. 13.<\/p>\n
At Friday night’s vigil, Jones’ family remembered her as an outgoing teenager who loved to dance, rap, and play basketball. Her mother described her as the family’s “energizer bunny.” <\/p>\n
Sacramento police said the driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Police said DUI did not appear to be a factor.<\/p>\n
KCRA 3 also asked whether speed played a role. Police did not directly answer that question, saying the investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
As of Friday, police said no one had been cited or arrested.<\/p>\n
