BARNSTABLE, MASS. (WHDH) - A Centerville woman is facing an operating to endanger charge after police say she hit a Cape Cod Community College student with her car on Tuesday.
Officers responding to a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle on Route 132 in West Barnstable about 8:15 a.m. determined that Milenna Rodrigues had struck an 18-year-old Carver woman as she was crossing the street in a crosswalk, according to police.
West Barnstable Fire Lt. William Murray said, “[She] went up on the windshield and was thrown about 20 feet.”
The pedestrian, whose name was not released, suffered injuries to the left side of her body and was taken to South Shore Hospital.
There was no immediate word on her condition, though college officials say they are optimistic she will make a full recovery.
Rodrigues was transported to Cape Cod Hospital for an unknown medical problem.
She will face several charges, including operating without a license, operating to endanger, operating an unregistered motor vehicle, and committing a crosswalk violation, according to police.
The crash remains under investigation with additional charges possible.
