According to the police, the girl was hit by a car at the intersection of Vanhankouluntie and Kivijärventie at 4:30pm.
The girl died at the scene of the accident. The police, however, refused to divulge details of the accident.
Apparently there were no traffic lights at the pedestrian crossing. The news of the accident was first run by Iltalehti, a Finnish language tabloid.
In August, an 11-year-old girl died after she was run over by a lorry in Tampere.
