Cars headed in opposite directions both strike, kill, boy in Detroit

Welcome to the News at 10. I'm Dave Kinchin. Thank you for joining us tonight. A deadly car crash on Detroit's West Side leaves a 12-year-old boy dead after he was hit while crossing the street. Just horrific. Fox 2's Camille O'Meary is live outside Detroit Police Headquarters with details on this tragedy. Camille? Yeah, this is just an absolutely horrible story. It could have been prevented. It did happen in broad daylight. Take a look at some video that we actually captured later on just to show you where this happened. So it was Puritan and Coyle. The boys were crossing. And when I say boy, it was the victim, the 12-year-old victim and his brothers crossing Puritan at Coyle just after 3.15 this afternoon when the crash happened. Police say two different cars hit the 12-year-old boy. He died on the scene. Witnesses say the cars were coming from opposite directions now both drivers did stop and they are cooperating with police the boy lived a little more than a half a block away on Coyle Street take a listen to what some witnesses had to say i watched this baby get hit instinct because i'm certified as a nurse's aid i jumped out and took his pulse he did he said and he died i said he don't have a pulse but i watch that baby bleed out. No matter what, I'm a mom and I'm a mother. That could have been any one of our kids and it hurts real bad, no matter who it is. That's a messed up situation. My heart go out to his mom. Absolutely horrible. Again, this boy just crossing the street with his brothers when this happened.
