A Warren girl was injured at 11:47 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 14 when she was struck by a car while crossing Child Street, near the Bristol County Water Authority plant.

The girl, 14, was crossing from the south to north side of Child Street when she was struck by a 2010 Buick driven west by Rebecca Pierotti, 38, of Swansea.
