Three
children at the Michael E. Capuano Early Childhood Center were
hospitalized "out of an abundance of caution" Monday after a
32-year-old woman crashed through a fence onto the playground around
1:45 p.m, Deputy Police Chief Paul Upton said.

The children,
between the ages of 3 and 4, were on the playground when a car driver
by Juna Maharjan jumped the curb and ploughed through a fence, striking
the bench one of the children was sitting on, Upton said.

"One child had a scrape, which I think was from falling from the bench," Upton said.

Maharjan has been cited for negligent operation of a motor vehicle. Upton said a court date is pending.
