Teen Hit by Car in Howell, Police Seek Witnesses
A teen hit by a car in Howell Township late Tuesday afternoon remains hospitalized today, and investigators ask anyone who witnessed the impact to step up.
According to police, the 15-year-old darted on to Friendship Road behind two cars that were stopped for left turns at Powderhorn Drive, into the path of a 2008 Honda Civic driven by Matthew Cassano, 20, of the township.
Cassano hit the brakes and swerved right in an attempt to avoid impact, police said. The teen was rushed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.
