METHUEN, MASS. (WHDH) - A Lawrence teen accused of fleeing the scene of a deadly hit-and-run crash in Methuen will be arraigned Tuesday on criminal charges, officials said.
The 16-year-old boy is set to appear in Lawrence Juvenile Court on charges including leaving the scene of a crash causing personal injury or death, witness interference, and unlicensed operation, according to Methuen police.
The teen was allegedly driving an Infiniti M37 without a license when he struck 57-year-old Timothy Lafferty, of Methuen, on Jackson Street on Oct. 14.
