Many people have been asking about the condition of the girl who was involved in the accident on Cherry St. last Friday. We heard you and asked our sources.
A Newark Police spokesperson told Patch on Tuesday that the 14-year-old is in "critical condition." He declined to give us more information, given that she is a minor.
If you are a member of her family and want to update the public about her condition, call or email the editor of this publication. Her email address is vanessa at patch dot com.
