Vigil & Funeral Services Set For Child Killed In Accident

February 27, 2023 4:07 am

A vigil will be held Monday night for a six-year-old girl who was struck and killed by a vehicle last week in North Belle Vernon. The vigil for Aria Woznick begins at six-thirty and will be held at the site of the deadly crash near Fayette and Vernon Street. On Sunday, the North Belle Vernon Fire Department, who was first to the scene that morning, held a bingo fundraiser for the Woznick family, raising roughly $11,000. A GoFundMe has been set up to help the family as well. Authorities say Aria was walking with a group of children to their bus stop Friday morning when she apparently stepped into the road and into the path of a vehicle. Police have said the driver stopped and is cooperating with their investigation.  Funeral services have been set for Wednesday morning at ten a.m. at the Belle Vernon Area High School auditorium in Rostraver.  Families and friends will be received from 2 to 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Ferguson Funeral Home and Crematory, 700 Broad Ave., in North Belle Vernon.
