Teen hit by car, bus still critical

SWANSEA, Mass. (WPRI) - A 15-year-old Somerset teen remains in critical condition at Hasbro Children's Hospital, after he was hit by a car, and then run over by a school bus in Swansea.

It happened Tuesday shortly before 3 p.m. on Bark St., right near the Somerset/Swansea line. According to authorities, the 15-year-old was riding a bicycle and wearing headphones when he was hit.

Eyewitness reported that the boy flew over the hood of the 1999 gold Buick sedan, hitting the windshield.

"There was just blood everywhere. It was not a pretty sight," said an eyewitness.

A deputy chief on scene said a bus traveling north on Bark St. then ran over the teenager's legs. An eyewitness on scene said the victim darted into the road in front of the car.

"I saw this kid come down Hinsdale on his bike, and from what I saw, he was coming across and didn't look both ways and the car, she hit him. He flipped off his bike," said Matthew Sousa.

Emergency crews took the boy to Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence. Authorities said the injuries appear to be serious.

The driver of the car, Grace Santos was also rushed to the hospital. Officials said she was mostly shaken up.

Police said the accident happened so fast, neither driver had a chance to stop.
