A teenager was rushed to the hospital after they were struck by a car while riding a scooter in Oakland Park Wednesday morning, officials said.<\/p>\n
City officials said the teen was taken to a local hospital as a level-one trauma. Broward Sheriff’s Office officials said the injuries weren’t life threatening.<\/p>\n
The driver spoke with NBC6 and said she had a green light and tried to avoid the teen girl but it was too late.<\/p>\n
She said she was shaken up but wasn’t physically hurt.<\/p>\n
“I’m still traumatized,” she said. “Right before it happened, I pretty much braked, but at that time, she just, as she’s going, she got hit.”<\/p>\n
The driver said she stepped out of the car to make sure the teen was okay.<\/p>\n
\u00a0“She was able to sit up, she was able to actually stand up, so that’s a good thing,” she said. “I mean if I could have done anything to avoid it I would have, but at that point it was already too late.”<\/p>\n
Witness Stephanie Reyes said she was at work when she heard the crash from inside her office just before 7:15 a.m.<\/p>\n
“It just sounded like two cars colliding, like it was loud,” Reyes said.<\/p>\n
Reyes said she rushed outside and saw the bloodied teen on the pavement.<\/p>\n
“I just felt bad, I told her, I started screaming not to move ’cause she was trying to move and she was on the floor,” Reyes said. “Bad, bad.”<\/p>\n
BSO officials said the incident remains under investigation. <\/p>\n
