The girls -- one 15, the other 17 -- were in the crosswalk on Colfax Avenue at Lindenwold Avenue when they were struck by a vehicle driven by a 50-year-old Paterson man shortly before 7 a.m., Detective Lt. Robert Bracken said.

Both were alert and conscious when they were taken to St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson with what responders said weren't life-threatening injuries, Bracken said.

The driver remained at the scene and received a summons for failing to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.
