If not, then you should call police if you know anyone who's dark-colored Ford Explorer has some heavy new front-end damage on the driver's side as of Sunday night.

It was a little before 9 Sunday night when police were called to Lawrence Street, under the railroad bridge near Billerica Street, for a reported hit & run.

An Explorer like the one I described above had smashed into the driver's side of a silver minivan that was carrying two adults and four children. The brunt of the impact was on the rear driver's side door, which is probably where the 9-year-old girl who had to be taken to Saints was sitting.

Police didn't have any reports yet Sunday night, so I can't identify those involved. I'm not sure how the girl was doing, but there was no reconstruction or anything so her injuries were apparently not severe.
That's my definition of severe though. I'd imagine the definition employed by a 9-year-old girl who just took an impact from an SUV would likely be significantly different.

If your friend or co-worker's Explorer has some newfound issues with it's front end, do that girl a favor and call Lowell Police at (978) 937-3200. You don't have to tell them your name, just fill em in on the vehicle in question.
