On Monday night earlier this week, Isaias Rivera of Methuen was hit and critically injured by a car around 7:00pm on Woodland Street in Methuen. The car drove away right after hitting 20-year-old Rivera and the driver has yet to be identified.
Rivera sustained trauma to his head and internal organs as a result of being struck that rainy night. He was found unconscious on the street, but was breathing on his own. Emergency personnel responded and transported him to a local hospital before transferring him to a Boston area hospital for more appropriate treatment.
Methuen Police continue to search for the dark-colored SUV that struck Rivera. They urged the driver of the car to report to them, explaining that the weather and road conditions could have played a role in the accident. Driving off after hitting Rivera, however, was the opposite of what the driver should have done.
After Rivera had been struck, it was reported in the article that other drivers were pulling around his body on the road, even honking their horns in frustration. Residents in the immediate area did what they could to assist Rivera before help arrived.
