SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) — A 46-year old woman and one of the 2 sons she was walking with were hit by a motor vehicle on White Street Wednesday afternoon.
The accident happened around 3:00 p.m. near the intersection of Grand Street and White Street.
Springfield Police Captain Collins told ABC40 News, “The driver of the car was going South on White Street. Reportedly she thought she saw someone stepping out in front of her, swerved to the left, went across the road, and went onto the sidewalk where the 46 year-old woman was with her 2 sons. One of the kids heard a noise and jumped out of the way. The mother and other son were struck.”
Both were transported to the hospital. The mother’s injuries are more serious, but police believe at this point they are not life threatening.
The driver of the vehicle is described as a woman in her 90′s.
The age of the 2 sons was not made immediately available by police. Collins did say though that at least one is a teenager.
Police continue to investigation this situation.
Why the street gotta be white?!
Women drivers!!!!!
It was a mom and her 2 teenage sons hit by a 90 yr old female driver. The mom flew into a nearby yard and one son thrown to the street, his sneaker flew off under a nearby vehicle.
Cuz you want it to work!!
When are we going to start retesting people?!
Omg god bless
this city is hexed and cursed! if a bullet dont kill you a car will, ppl just lost out here dont know the speed limit, f.p has a high rate of car accident up there wit the murder rate.
which is exactly why those who insist on driving after age 75 need to be taking driving exams every 3 years to be certain they can still drive without posing a hazard to people.
Wow, and she was on a SIDEWALK!!!!!
They need to be tested every six months, with a doctors consent, humans can start to decline at that age very quickly, and with most , their kids have had enough and are long gone, and left alone, jus sayin….
I was hit by a elderly man and then a women, key word, elderly
