In yet another heartbreaking story, one woman’s life was cut short and another was injured at the hands of an irresponsible teenager who chose to drink and then drive his car in Boston, Massachusetts.
The two women, mother and daughter, were walking their dog down the street when they were hit by a car. The car was being driven by an 18-year-old high school student who had gotten drunk at prom.
The pedestrian accident was so loud that neighbors thought the sound of the car accident was thunder or a loud motorcycle. When neighbors came outside to help the injured women, the teens attempted to flee the scene, but stayed after being called after.
