Driver issued motor-vehicle summonses
NEWTON -- Two small children in a stroller were struck as they crossed the street with their mother Wednesday, police said.
Police responded to Trinity and Moran streets around 1:24 p.m., after the double-stroller being pushed by the children's 21-year-old mother was struck by a 2004 Ford Explorer.
A subsequent investigation determined that the driver, Ewa Nowicki, a 69-year-old Lafayette resident, turned left onto Trinity from Moran without yielding to the woman and her children, police said. She has been issued summonses for careless driving and failure to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.
The children were taken to Newton Medical Center and then to Morristown Medical Center for evaluation. Neither Nowicki nor the children's mother were hurt.
