A 57-year-old woman died of her injuries from a pedestrian collision on Lanai, Maui police said.

Police identified the woman as Christine Sandi, of Lanai. Police said Sandi was legally crossing Lanai Avenue, from west to east, when she was hit by a 2018 Ford pickup about 12:10 p.m. Thursday. Sandi was taken in critical condition to Lanai Community Hospital, where she died of her injuries, police said.
