Girl Run Over By Hummer Stretch Limo Leaving Prom
<snip>

An East High School student who was run over by a stretch limousine leaving the school prom Saturday was in critical condition after surgery Monday.

Molly Bloom, 17, a standout on the school's swim team, sustained injuries to her leg and pelvis when she was dragged under the rear tires of the vehicle, according to police and students.

"Molly is still in stable condition, and her doctors are pleased," said a posting by a family member Monday morning on the high school's website.

Bloom was leaving the prom about 11 p.m. in the 1700 block of Sherman Street, near the Sherman Street Event Complex, and was getting into the Hummer H1 limousine when the driver started to move before she was fully inside, Denver police spokeswoman Virginia Quiñones said.

Bloom was rushed to Denver Health Medical Center, according to school district officials - who confirmed that the girl's condition was critical but stable.

School administrators, who also witnessed the incident, told 7News that her injuries were too gruesome to describe.

The Hummer H1 limo was being operated by 5th Ave N Style Limousine, chief operating officer Richard Perricone confirmed.

5. this is so sad...To have the night end like that.
:( I guess her parents and the school (students even) have done a great job of keeping the press at bay. I hope she recovers fully. I can't imagine the horror her parents are going through.

7. Maybe this will wake people up to the insanity of having limos for prom
Conspicuous consumption at its worst.

Especially a Hummer.
