John Eagan

The pair were in the northbound breakdown lane on Bald Hill Road when the car hit the boy. The force was reportedly so strong that it sent the boy through the car's windshield.

His friend tells ABC 6 that the victim wasn't breathing when he was taken away by an ambulance. The 17-year old later died at Rhode Island Hospital. Police are still investigating whether speed or alcohol were factors. The driver of the vehicle is cooperating with police.

We're going to miss you Jesse. We all loved you so much and it seems so surreal that this has actually happened. I am going to really miss going to the mall on fridays and seeing you there and our 8 hour phone calls...haha. But what I am really going to miss is how you cared so much about everyone around you and put them first. You were such a great person and you did not DESERVE to go out like this..
