Driver Charged After Teen Hit By Car In Revere On Her Way To Trick-Or-Treat
REVERE (CBS) -- A driver has been charged after a teenager was hit by a car in Revere Thursday night on her way to go trick-or-treating in Boston.
The 14-year-old girl and her two friends were crossing Route 60 near a rotary heading to a subway station just after 8 p.m. when she was hit.
"We all started screaming 'call 911! Call 911!" said Aya Beno, one of the girl's friends. "She was walking ahead of us and the car was speeding and hit her."
The girl was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, where she was in stable condition Friday morning.
Her friends said she was paying attention when crossing the four lanes of traffic, but might not have been in a crosswalk.
Rania Benouardia rushed to the scene to pick up her sister who was traumatized.
"I cried for her. That little girl was like a sister to me," Benouardia said. "She just told us she was bleeding from her mouth really bad and she got hit really hard."
The driver, later identified as 32-year-old Wilvins Rosirus of Lynn, stopped down the street, according to the girl's friends.
The Suffolk County District Attorney said Rosirus was charged with driving with a suspended license.
He will be arraigned Friday in Chelsea District Court.
