NORTH HOLLYWOOD : 1 of 4 Girls Run Over by Car Leaves Hospital

One of four girls injured in a bizarre North Hollywood car accident was released from Childrens Hospital Monday.

A doctor said she and another girl, brought to the same hospital, are expected to fully recover from their injuries. Two other girls were recovering at UCLA Medical Center.

The children, ranging in age from 5 to 10, were injured Saturday at a home in North Hollywood when a 2-year-old boy, alone in a car with the engine running, put the car in gear and it ran over them, trapping them underneath.

A hospital spokeswoman said that Janette Rodriguez, 10, left Childrens Hospital on Monday. Her brother, also injured in the accident, had been released Sunday.

Janette suffered multiple cuts and bruises, said Dr. Richard Reynolds, who treated her and Valeria Fernandez, 9.

Both girls suffered from hemorrhaging in the upper body caused by the weight of the car on their mid-sections. In addition, Valeria suffered a broken collarbone, three broken ribs and a broken arm. Valeria could be released from the hospital as early as Wednesday, Reynolds said.

At UCLA Medical Center, Guadalupe Rodriquez, 9, and Leslie Vega, 5, the other two girls injured in the accident, were in good condition Monday, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Police Department traffic investigators said they expect to decide today whether they will seek charges against a woman who police said left the car’s engine running while she left to look for her purse.
