Paige Lauten returned home this weekend and has already started her outpatient rehab, after the eighth-grade Mars Area Middle School student was struck by a vehicle on Nov. 29 while crossing Route 228.

Paige Lauten has returned home after almost three months of hospitalization and rehabilitation procedures.

A Tuesday, Feb. 21, post on the Facebook page “Prayers for Paige L” said the eighth-grade Mars Area Middle School student who was struck by a car Nov. 29 while crossing Route 228 started outpatient rehab this week.

“The process continues, and this is just another step, but at least she is able to be home for the first time in almost 3 months,” the post said.
