This morning while Greg was taking Adrian to school, he came upon an awful accident that happened right in front of the school.
A crossing guard and 2nd grader were hit by a dump truck.
The crossing guard died and apparently the little boy is doing ok.
Supposedly, by standers who saw it happen said that the truck was going too fast. The driver said he didn't see them. Tell me.....How can you NOT see a lady in a bright orange vest holding a stop sign I want to know.
Then the driver didn't even know he had hit them until he heard the "thud".
It's AWFUL! I didn't know her personally but I have seen her at the cross walk often.
We have major construction going on here in our area so I am surprised that something like this hasn't happened before now. Those friggin trucks drive like maniacs!
Yesterday while I was going to pick Kori up from school, I slowed down to 20 MPH The guy in front of me just cruised through the zone like there was no tomorrow and the car behind me was right on my ass like I was hindering him. *shakes head*
It's So sad that it takes such a tragic event to happen to open up eyes.
I feel so bad for all those little kids and parents who were standing outside the school that witnessed that.
Here's the story if you want to read about it.
