2h agoA single-vehicle accident
at a bus stop in Newark sent two people to the hospital.
Police responded to the crash
into a bus stop and light pole around 9:15 a.m. at the intersection of Broad
and Market streets.
Newark’s
public safety director says two pedestrians were struck by a Mazda and later
transported to University Hospital for treatment.
A
woman working nearby says one of the victims was underneath the vehicle.
“I
looked up and the car was in the bus station near the bus stop,” says Kallie
Mihalatos. “Everybody was running over to see what happened and apparently
there was somebody pinned under the car.”
Mihalatos
says she was told the driver ran off after the accident. Police confirm the
driver did not remain at the scene but was later taken into custody without
further incident.
No
additional information is available concerning the driver, the vehicle or the
condition of the two victims.
