Two young pedestrians were injured—one seriously—after being hit by a car on a bustling Waltham street. The distressing incident took place yesterday night, and shocking footage from a nearby company's surveillance reveals the moment of impact at 1074 Main Street, as reported by WHDH.
Police and first responders flocked to the scene near Veronica’s Spa, after getting calls concerning a vehicle hitting juveniles, according to information provided by NBC Boston. The two kids, whose names and exact ages were not disclosed, were promptly taken to Boston Children’s Hospital with the first sustaining serious but not life-threatening injuries, and the second suffering minor injuries.
The driver involved in the Waltham incident reportedly remained at the scene and fully cooperated with the officers. The exact circumstances leading up to the collision are still under active investigation with no immediate details indicating whether charges will be filed.
As the community grapples with the unsettling sight captured on video, shared by concerned citizens on social media, the cause behind the crash remains obscured by the immediacy of the ongoing inquiry. While the neighborhood watches and the involved parties piece together the evening's events, the driver's cooperation stands as a marker of involvement, providing some solace that at least the immediate aftermath was marked by a sense of responsibility—a small comfort amid the chaos that unfolded on Main Street.
