The incident of 13 years boy happened when he was hit by a truck in Lewiston main Street


A boy of 13 years old was hit and killed by pick up truck on Thursday, on Main Street in Lewiston. The teenager he was identified by mark cornelio.

Police said Jayden was crossing Main Street at Frye Street in a crosswalk when he was hit by a truck driven by Laurie Young, 54, of South Paris.

"She actually stopped. She knew she had hit someone, but then she stopped and didn’t know where he or she was. She didn’t know where they had gone until she walked around to the front of her truck and realized," Cornelio said.

The accident was reported just after 7 a.m.

"Heard this really horrifying screech and then we woke up and see everybody running," neighbor Richard Leet said.

Lewiston School Department officials said Jayden attended Lewiston Middle School.

Police said Jayden was in eighth grade.

Principal Jake Langlais held and assembly to inform students of Jayden’s death, and said counseling will be offered to students and staff.

"One of the most kind and friendly students. He was very polite. Most often had a smile. He was the kind of kid that everyone wanted to be around. Really nice young man," Langlais said.

Police said there are no crossing guards in that area and the boy was wearing dark-colored clothing.

An accident reconstruction team will determine if speed was a factor in the crash. Young was given a blood-alcohol test, which is standard for deadly crashes.

Police said Young was very distraught, but was able to tell them what happened.

"Best as we can determine is that she was not on her cellphone at the time. She just did not see him. It was rainy. It was dark, so it’s a possibility that the weather did have something to do with this," Cornelio said.

Philippines make the most its English ability

MANILA -- Amid central Manila's construction boom, a redevelopment project by Ayala Land is especially eye-catching. The project includes a 69-story building and a condominium whose apartments go for an average 80 million pesos ($1.65 million). That is almost on a par with prices in Tokyo, yet the real estate developer said it received a flood of inquiries when the apartments went on sale in June. Investors are buying the company's shares in expectation of higher revenues. The share price rose about 14% from the start of the year to the end of September. The Ayala project highlights the rising income levels in the Philippines. Taking advantage of its large English-speaking population, the country has become one of the biggest providers of business process outsourcing services. Surging employment in this sector has created a consumption boom among the growing middle class.

First woman president in Namibia

Namibia has its first woman president. Namibians say it won’t mean much for women Namibia’s presidential and National Assembly elections this year have been historic on many fronts. They were the country’s most controversial elections, with accusations of foreign interference and election rigging at the forefront; while the country’s first female president was elected. The South West Africa People’s Organisation’s (Swapo’s) Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah was announced as the president-elect on Tuesday night, with 57.69% of the vote. The announcement was made at the Electoral Commission of Namibia’s (ECN’s) headquarters in Windhoek, but many parties were absent — contributing to a sombre mood. Multiple parties, including the incoming official opposition party, the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), and the Landless People’s Movement (LPM) boycotted the announcement, as they do not recognise the election’s results. In a statement issued moments before the announcement, the IPC reaffirmed its...
