Drunk Driver Plows Into Mother, Twin Daughters During Halloween Outing

Story out of Salem, Massachusetts:

A mother and her twin daughters were struck Sunday night by an alleged drunken driver in Salem, the famed Massachusetts city where crowds flock each year for Halloween festivities.

The mother involved in the crash told authorities that she and her 10-year-old girls were walking back to collect a forgotten stuffed animal when the collision occurred, according to a Salem Police Department report. The trio looked both ways and began to walk in the crosswalk when they were struck by a car.

Witnesses said that the impact of the crash sent one of the girls over the hood of the car, which drove away in the aftermath, according to the report.

The crash happened at around 8 p.m. on Sunday, according to the police report. It occurred in Salem, the site of the Salem Witch Trials in the 17th century, and now, a destination that draws thousands to the community for Halloween-related festivities.

The mother and twin girls were being treated for serious injuries. Cont.
