A 21-year-old driver whose car struck and injured three teenage boys this past week has been charged in the incident.
Deanna Leggio of Hudson has been charged with careless driving, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Two teens were hospitalized after the incident. Troopers announced today that a third boy also was hit but wasn't seriously injured.
About 7 a.m. Tuesday, the boys were walking toward their bus stop at Utica Drive and New York Avenue when Leggio's car, which was heading north on Utica, hit them, troopers said.
William B. Calder, 13, and Walter Edelman, 15, both of Hudson, were in stable condition at All Children's Hospital late last week. Their condition wasn't immediately available.
Troopers today said Charles Holland, 13, was also struck.
Leggio told troopers she had swerved to miss a group of children walking on Utica and didn't see the boys, who were walking apart from the group.
Troopers are still investigating the crash.
