SKOWHEGAN -- Police on Monday said a darkened street light on school grounds and pedestrian inattention were contributing factors in a car accident that sent a 14-year-old girl to the hospital Friday night after a high school football game.

Eliza Li of Summer Street, in Skowhegan, was struck by a car driven by Joseph LaBrie Jr. of Norridgewock at about 9:15 p.m., Skowhegan Deputy Police Chief Rick Bonneau said.

Neither speed nor alcohol were factors in the accident and no charges are expected, Bonneau said.

He said Li was listed in satisfactory condition by hospital officials in Bangor on Saturday.
