SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Police say a 13-year-old boy was killed and another child was injured when they were struck by a vehicle in Springfield that allegedly left the scene.
Capt. Richard Labelle says the children were struck at about 7:15 p.m. Sunday.
Labelle says both children were taken to the hospital where one later died. The other victim, whose age and gender have not been released, is expected to survive.
Police charged 35-year-old Joshua Cutler, of Springfield, with leaving the scene. He will likely face arraignment Monday. It could not be determined if he has a lawyer.
Residents of Breckwood Boulevard, the street on which the children were struck, tell westernmassnews.com that cars speeding down their street are a problem.
