As town reels, 3 victims improve (Boston.com)
Among the injured are a 5-year-old boy who has had a leg amputated and a 6-year-old boy who has had reconstructive leg surgery, doctors and relatives said.
Police are trying to determine how Caruso, who uses a prosthetic leg, happened to drive his blue Chevrolet Corsica onto a crowded sidewalk, injuring 12 children and adults, before crashing into a wall just after school had let out about 2:15 p.m. Friday.
That was in Stoneham. How do you live with something like that afterward? Horrible. Simply horrible all around. Those poor children.

She said her husband and child were bumped around by the car but thankfully not seriously injured. I had been skiing with him a few years ago.

It would be a tremendous expense and inconvenience but it might take some people off the road who can't drive well anymore. I've been saying that since I lived on Cape Cod with all its elderly drivers.
