Police charged a Methuen teenager today in the brazen hit-and-run accident in Lowell that seriously injured a 12-year-old boy this week.

Michelle P. Medeiros, 17, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Police are considering additional charges.

Medeiros allegedly struck Kelvin Savanhmixay, 12, of Lowell, while she raced another car down VFW Highway in Lowell on Wednesday, police said.

Savanhmixay spent time in the intensive care unit at Children’s Hospital in Boston and was recovering after leg surgery, family said.

Police seized an Acura with a broken windshield yesterday in Methuen that they believe was involved in the crash.
