Culkin's Sister Hit By Car And Killed

Police say Macaulay Culkin's sister Dakota Culkin was killed after she stepped in front of a car in west Los Angeles.

Police spokesman Richard French says Dakota Culkin was struck Tuesday night after she stepped into the street. She died a day later at a Los Angeles hospital after suffering massive head injuries.

French says there is no active criminal investigation.

Police say the driver stopped and tried to help the 29-year-old. Officers determined the motorist wasn't driving drunk and followed all laws.

Macaulay Culkin's spokeswoman, Michelle Bega, said it was a "terrible tragic accident" and the family had no further comment.

The 28-year-old actor starred in the "Home Alone" films.

Honestly, why a picture of Macaulay rather than his sister Dakota? If you must have a picture of Macaulay, at least have one of the primary subject of the story as well.

I lived in that area for a few years and some streets are so narrow you''ll be driving an inch or two from the parked cars. It''s absolutely nervewracking! If anyone comes from between those parked cars there''s no way in hell you can stop in time.
