YPSILANTI TOWNSHIP (WWJ) - Washtenaw County authorities believe a man who hit and killed a 2-year old girl on the 4th of July was either drunk or on drugs.

The girl was rushed to a local hospital by family members but was pronounced dead.

Prosecutors told WWJ Tuesday afternoon that they the sheriff's office had not yet sent them the case for review, and that nothing was expected too soon as traffic investigation such as they tend to take some time.

The driver remained at the Washtenaw County Jail on Tuesday with any possible charges still pending.
