Police said the sole victim is expected to survive, but people who live nearby said this is happening far too often.

“It’s not like this is the first time. It’s happened early, and I know that sounds really messed up, but yeah we should tell the truth so people can do better, it does happen quite often,” Moehamed said.

Police towed the car away from Bowdoin Street and cleared the scene within an hour. Witnesses said loved ones were on the scene to pick up the kids who had to witness that.

“The family came and got here in time,” the witness said. “They must be local to be able to get here as quick as they did to pick the kids up.”
