Two teens hit by car in Colorado Springs Halloween night

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) says two young girls were hit by a car around 10 p.m. on Halloween night.

The department says one female juvenile and one female 19-year-old were struck near the 3000 block of Monica Drive Thursday evening.

KRDO13 spoke to a woman who lives on Monica Dr. who rushed to help when she heard a car hit the two young girls.

When she got there, she said a car had crashed in a neighbor's yard, one girl was lying on the street and the other ended up near the edge of her driveway.  

"I literally had to stop, cars. Like I kneeled down in front of her, and I just did this," Sherry Bailey explained how she tried to protect one of the girls from other cars.

Bailey also recounted the other teen being in bad shape. She said she had blood all over her face and she seemed unconscious.

Although Halloween night is supposed to be scary, when first responders started to arrive, the fear became far too real.

"I remember this woman walking down the street asking if that was her kid," Bailey said.

CSPD says both girls were taken to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening, injuries.

Officers also say the driver remained on scene after the incident, and no citations have been given out at this time. Police also say they believe alcohol is not a factor in the crash.

CSPD says this is still an active and ongoing investigation.
