Friends are mourning the death of 12-year-old Helaina Hawkins after she was struck by a car last night on 10th street near

was struck crossing the street on roller blades. She died at the scene. Police say there’s no indication the driver, Clarence
Waters, 60, of Waterloo, was impaired or driving at a high rate of speed. Neighbors say the street is poorly lit.
