HAVERHILL, MASS. (WHDH) - An elderly woman was flown to the hospital after she was hit by a car and thrown through the air in Haverhill Friday morning.
Police responded to the crash in the area of South Main Street and South Prospect Street just before 9 a.m. When officers arrived, they found a white Mercedes sedan with a shattered windshield and a woman unconscious.
The victim was flown by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital with critical injuries.
Police said the driver involved stayed on scene and was cooperative.
Residents say the incident is a sign that drivers in the area should be more careful.
“They just need to slow down and watch what they’re doing because they’re always driving pretty fast up and down this street, and there’s a lot of people around here walking their dogs, walking their kids. So we got to be careful,” said Kelly Young, who lives in the area.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
