Providence girl hurt in ATV-SUV collisionSCITUATE -- A 14-year-old North Providence girl was in the hospital with broken bones this morning after she drove out into traffic on a small all-terrain vehicle and collided with an SUV, town police said. Scituate Police Sgt. Stephen Lang said today that the girl, who was not identified, had been driving the four-wheeler for the first time on a friend's property at 953 Danielson Pike. She started going “really fast” and could not figure out how to stop the vehicle, Lang said. Yelling to her friends, asking how to stop the vehicle, she shot out into traffic and into the path of an oncoming Jeep Cherokee, Lang said. She collided with the Jeep, the ATV flipped, and she became trapped under the Jeep. Police are not releasing the name of the Jeep's driver, a 41-year-old Johnston resident, he was driving with his wife. No charges are being filed against him, Lang said. Lang said the girl, who was not wearing a helmet, was in Hasbro Children’s Hospital with a broken collarbone, broken leg and a shattered ankle, according to her mother.
