Five teens on their way to Mountain View High School and an adult were involved in a collision at 8 a.m. Tuesday in Mesa.
As a Honda Civic with a male driver and four female passengers headed south on Lindsay Road approaching Hope Street, a Pontiac Grand AM driven by a man tried to turn left onto west Hope. The Civic didn’t have time to stop and hit the Grand AM.
Three of the female passengers were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The Civic driver and one passenger refused medical treatment at the scene and were turned over to their parents.
The Grand AM driver did not report any injuries and was cited for failure to yield.
Police did not provide identification of anyone involved in the incident.
That sucks about the accident, but nice job on the one male with four female passengers!
Why’s this a story?
agree dane.
Did you have something more exciting to report on?
You idiots! This is a story because it points out the dangers of teen drivers…to them and do us!
YOU ARE IDIOTS!
who care these students shouldnt be driving anyway i have no sympathy for them.
Are you guys really that blind. It wasnt even the teenagers fault. It states right there that the other driver was cited for failure to yeild. Wow!
What I would like to know is …
Did the teen driver of the vehicle get cited for the new law passed in June (or July) stating that a teen driver with a “graduated licensed” could not have more than one passenger (other than relatives)?
I say close campus for all. It safer for the stundents.
Hey does anyone know how the kids that were sent to the hospital are doing? Did they ever release the names of the people involved?
Even the news gets the story wrong. . .
did you read the report, it says the driver failed to yield. the teen driver wasn’t at fault.
damn you people and your paranoia
Ok, i just have to say because i WAS the passenger in the front of the civic that you people have no right to say teen drivers shouldnt be driving. it was completely the adults fault. And you who have no sympathy? try this, he completely changed my life because i broke my L1 and that thrusted and chrushed my T12 so bad 25 degrees into my nerve that i should be paralyzed, and had to have emergency surgery and cant attend school or do anything on my own now. I’m permanantly injured and will struggle the rest of my life, having gotten two rods fused in to 8 of my vertebrae. also, it wasnt the boy (my cousin) driving, it was my sister.
Oh and to answer randi, my sister tore muscle in her back and 3 vertabrae in her neck got outta line, one had to get plastic surgery on her head for a bad cut, one other has knee and shoulder problems, and me, well i got the brunt. also, my sister did not get cited because she is almost 18 so the new law doesnt apply to her.
