BROCKTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A mother and her 6-year-old child were injured Wednesday morning when a car slammed into a home in Brockton.
Family members tell 7News that the young girl was getting ready for school when a sedan suddenly struck the home on Colonel Bell Drive, leaving her pinned.
“If the car came a little bit closer, it would have killed her,” said Mike Prince, the girl’s grandfather. “All I saw is my grand baby pinned between the car and the building.”
Prince says his 29-year-old daughter was with her little girl when the car crashed into the home. Another family member in another room says she felt the impact shake the home.
A Good Samaritan was able to free the girl. Her family says her injuries did not appear to be serious. Her mother also suffered non-life-threatening injuries. They were both taken to the hospital.
“I thought she was dead, but she’s alright though,” Prince said.
The driver of the car was apologetic, according to the family.
The cause of the crash is not clear. It’s not known if the driver will face charges.
