16-Year-Old Driver Charged After 6 Teens Hit by SUV in Lindenwold
Surveillance video shows the SUV striking students as police say the 16-year-old driver lacked a valid license and faces joyriding charges.
- On Tuesday, a 16-year-old driver struck six teenagers with a Cadillac SUV on Gibbsboro Road in Lindenwold, New Jersey, sending all six victims to the hospital. Police charged the teen with six counts of third-degree aggravated assault and one count of joyriding.
- Authorities believe the crash resulted from reckless driving rather than intentional harm. Sources report the driver lacked a valid license, though the vehicle was not reported stolen; two people inside were detained by police.
- Emergency responders freed one student pinned beneath the vehicle, who was airlifted to Cooper University Hospital. Five other teenagers sustained non-critical injuries, and police confirmed all six victims continue to recover.
- At Lindenwold High School, officials addressed the crash with students and provided counseling resources. Student Arturo Caselin said, "Some people were crying in first period thinking about it."
- The driver is being held at the Camden County Juvenile Detention Center pending charges. Christopher Barker visited the crash scene Wednesday morning, taping signs of encouragement to the damaged fence.
