“I was actually a little nervous to come down. You never know what you’re going to see. You can’t unsee what you’re going to see, right? So I was actually kind of relieved when you came down and saw the second girl moving and talking, and the first girl at least I heard her say, once she was starting to regain consciousness, and she was bleeding from the news a little bit,” said witness Peter Zorzonello, who called 911.
The driver of the vehicle, Ovidia Lopez-Esteban of Lynn, was arrested and will be charged with operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license.
