The Clark County coroner has identified the 2-year-old girl who died after being hit by an SUV last month in the parking lot of a Las Vegas pediatric office.

Elika Kosaryan died Tuesday from a blunt force head injury suffered in the April 23 incident. The coroner ruled her death an accident.

She was hit by the side of a Mercedes-Benz ML350 that was driving through the parking lot of St. Rose Pediatrics, 6980 S. Cimarron Road, near South Buffalo Drive and the 215 Beltway, police said. Elika was initially treated by doctors from the pediatric center before she was taken to University Medical Center in critical condition.

Elika was in the parking lot with her family, Metro traffic Sgt. Robert Stauffer said at the time, when she walked between two parked cars. It wasn’t immediately clear how far Elika had gotten from her mother before she was hit.

The 35-year-old driver stayed at the scene, cooperated with officers and did not appear to be impaired, Stauffer said.
