CARVER, Mass. — Two 16-year-olds were hurt Thursday morning after a pickup truck struck them in a hit-and-run accident at a bus stop in Carver.
According to police, at 7:20 AM, two Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School students were waiting for a bus on Forrest Street when they were both struck by the side-view mirror of a pickup truck.
