A 16-year-old boy from Iowa was arrested following a hit-and-run accident in a crosswalk near Saint Marys Hospital that sent four people to the hospital Friday. The accident happened at Second Street Southwest and 14th Avenue Southwest. According to Rochester police and eyewitnesses, the suspect was driving west on Second Street Southwest. The driver made a quick left turn onto 14th Avenue Southwest, hit the side of a truck, then hit at least two pedestrians, and sped away. The teen might be charged with leaving the scene of an injury accident and criminal vehicular operation, according to Lt. Jeff Stillwell. The conditions of the victims weren't released Friday evening. Stillwell said their names would be released Saturday. A witness followed the suspect's car and reported its location to police. Officers stopped the car at U.S. 52 and Marion Road.Anthony Hahn was driving the truck that was hit by the suspect. He said he was eastbound on Second Street Southwest, and didn't see the suspect's car coming. After his truck got hit, he saw the other driver hit two women in the crosswalk.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, I can't believe that just happened,'" Hahn said.
At least one pedestrian dove out of the way of the car.
Ann Wittlief watched the accident unfold. She said the pedestrians had gotten halfway into the intersection when the car hit them."I heard a big thud, and they were on the ground," she said. Rochester police investigators believe that accident was due to driver inexperience and inattention caused by talking on a cell phone.


One of two things I suggest: He either plays too much Grand Theft Auto or didn't hear about Oprah's "No Phone Zone!"

"Love it or Leave it Color Coordination"

From BHGP.com: [Memo dictated by Tad Shamarharhar, Assistant Athletic Director for Color Coordination, Wave Production and Rhythmic Chanting, for general release] "The Penn State game was a great success. I don't think anyone thought we could get the Kinnick crowd to pull off the stripe effect, but we did it. Note to self: if I ever realize my lifelong dream of pulling off a coup d'etat in this country, remember that the Iowans follow directions well. Very well. Don't write that last part down. It was an impressive effort, but I think we have just touched the tip of the iceberg in terms of fan color coordination. We can, nay, we must go farther. Here are the color coordination instructions I have prepared for the Wisconsin game: If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 1-15, you should wear navy If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 16-25, you should wear royal blue If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 26-40, you should wea...
