16-Year-Old Confesses To Shooting That Caught Girl In Crossfire
Sexual Harassment On Subways An "Underreported Crime"
A Staten Island teenager is in critical condition after she was run over in a chain reaction car crash in front of Tottenville High School yesterday. At around 11:30 am, a Nissan Maxima stopped to allow 17-year-old senior Janine Brawer to cross Luten Avenue. But as she crossed the street, a Saturn rear-ended the Nissan and pushed the car into the teen, pinning her beneath it. Rescue workers extracted Brawer — who suffered cardiac arrest during the collision — and transported her to Staten Island University Hospital, where she underwent surgery and remains in "grave condition," according to police.
No charges have been filed against either of the drivers, both of whom are believed to be students at the school. The incident immediately sparked questions about whether or not traffic calming devices like crosswalks or speed bumps should be installed on the avenue, which does not have any stop signs or traffic lights. A plan to install speed bumps was once scrapped because of school bus traffic.

Terrible. I hope she pulls through.
Indeed.
Cardiac arrest at the scene gives her *very* low chances.
so sad. I have a question...why weren't these kids in school at 11:30 am?
Don't you mean "irrelevant question"?
Well, if it's anything like my high school, they let the seniors leave campus to get lunch. Actually, lunch was the most accident-prone period because you had to hurry to get back on time. Wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case here.
From the last of the linked articles: "She was hit around 11:30 a.m. as she was leaving the Huguenot school as part of an early dismissal."
It could have been a different schedule. I was done with my HS credit requirements early so I was out of school by 11 am everyday.
Wow, you must be really smart.
Poor girl, good luck.
Similar thing happened in my HS district - a girl was hit and killed by an ambulance, which led to a traffic light being installed in the intersection.
"which does not have any stop signs or traffic lights."
There's your problem.
That's terrible! Hope she will be fine soon, so sad to learn news like that. Just curious why does there's no charges filed with the driver, they should take responsibility with what happen...
