Woman dragged 2 miles after being hit by car in Chinatown

BOSTON — An investigation is underway into a crash that injured two people early Monday morning.

The crash happened on Kneeland Street at Harrison Avenue in Chinatown around 2:15 a.m. Police say a 56-year-old-man and a 28-year-old woman were both struck.

The man was found in Chinatown with serious injuries.

Police say the woman was dragged by the car from Chinatown several miles into Dorchester.

"It was determined that the female who was first hit in Chinatown was in fact dragged from Chinatown up the 93 ramp, up 93 southbound into the area of Columbia Ave. and Boston Street,” Assistant Suffolk County District Attorney Kristina Kerwin said.

Both victims were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

The driver, 44-year-old Xiao Ying Zhou of Sandwich, was charged with two counts of leaving the scene of a collision causing person injury.

In court Zhou said she had no idea that she had been involved in a crash, but police say a witness told them Zhou got out of the car and looked after the crash the drove away from the scene.

"She wasn't aware of an accident that occurred. She drove. She stopped her car. She got out of the car and saw this person and went down to assist them,” a defense attorney for Zhou said.

Zhou was ordered to be held on $5,000 bail.
