Moriah Rodrigues of Pawtucket was hit at around 9 last night as she crossed the street with her step sister who is also 13. One of the girls apparently dropped something and had bent down to pick it up. When police arrived, Rodrigues was lying in the roadway with severe head injuries. She died at Hasbro Children's Hospital at about 1:30 a.m. this morning. The police identified the driver, who was at the scene when they arrived, as Christopher Collins, 42, of Johnston. The police said that a preliminary investigation indicates that neither alcohol nor speed appeared to be a factor. The patrol division, accident reconstruction, detectives and crime scene investigators were called to assist in the investigation. -- Tatiana Pina, Journal staff writer Posted by Peter Phipps Commentslynn | April 18, 2007 2:04 PM link Melissa, sorry to hear what happend my heart goes out to you and the rest of the family.
