Tragedy Strikes Former Nickelodeon Star in Hit-and-Run Incident
Kianna Underwood, a beloved figure from the iconic children's sketch comedy show "All That," was killed in a shocking hit-and-run accident in New York on Friday at just 33 years old. The incident occurred when Underwood was crossing an intersection in Brooklyn's Brownsville neighborhood when she was struck by a black Ford Explorer SUV.
As fate would have it, while lying unconscious in the street, Underwood was then hit again by a black and gray sedan, leaving her fatal injuries. Miraculously, both drivers involved fled the scene, leaving authorities scrambling to identify them. An ongoing investigation is currently underway.

The news of her untimely death has sent shockwaves through fans worldwide, leaving behind memories of a bright and promising young talent cut short in her prime.
Underwood's legacy will undoubtedly live on as her former peers mourn the loss of a vibrant individual whose sparkle was extinguished far too soon.

just saw that Kianna Underwood from "All That" passed away in a hit-and-run 
33 and talented, what a waste 
just can't believe the news about Kianna Underwood... 33 years old is way too young to be gone. it's crazy that she got hit twice and the people who were driving away left her lying there 
. I've seen some of her old videos from "All That" and she was so talented and energetic on screen. her career took off after that show, but it's clear now how fleeting fame can be. 
rest in peace Kianna, you'll be deeply missed by all who knew your sparkly personality 
Kianna Underwood was one of those people you thought were invincible, like they'd be around forever. I remember watching "All That" with my siblings and she was always so full of energy, you know? Little Inez would always crack me up 
. But life is unfair, right? One minute she's living her best life, next thing you know she's gone. This hit-and-run incident is just sickening 
... Authorities gotta catch them ASAP. I feel bad for her family & friends, it's a tough time for everyone involved 
. We'll miss you, Kianna - your sparkle might be gone but your legacy will live on forever 
. Kianna Underwood was still so young, full of life and energy 
it's crazy how some people can make an impact on our lives for just a short time, but leave such a lasting memory 
it's just so sad she was only 33 
. Her legacy will definitely live on through the many talented individuals she inspired and mentored over the years 
she had such a bright future ahead of her... i wonder who could've done such a thing, it's like they just abandoned her on the side of the road 
, hit-and-run is just so reckless & inconsiderate... i hope the ppl who did this get caught & brought to justice 
but for now, let's all take a moment to remember Kianna Underwood and the impact she had on so many lives 
I'm still trying to process this news... Kianna Underwood's life was just getting started 
. It's crazy that someone so young and full of life could be taken away from us in an instant 
. The fact that two drivers got to walk away after hitting her twice is just heartbreaking 
. It's a harsh reminder that we need to be more careful and look out for each other on the roads 
. RIP Kianna, you will be deeply missed 
.
, but what I will say is that it's bloody frustrating when people are cut down in their prime, leaving behind so much potential
