The boy was seen driving at a high rate of speed and weaving in and out of traffic as he headed west on Hartford Avenue just before 1 p.m., according to Johnston Deputy Police Chief Gary Maddocks. Firefighters removed the teen from the vehicle. He was conscious but suffering from cuts and bruises, and took him to Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence. The driver did not appear to be wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, Maddocks said. An investigation continues. Traffic on Hartford Avenue was backed up several miles in east and west as crews cleared the debris and dealt with downed power lines. -- Journal staff writer Mark Reynolds Posted by Mike McKinney Commentsbrian | June 8, 2008 10:43 AM link Post a commentPlease be civil.
