🙏🏻 sending healing prayers her way.

🙏💙🙏

🙏🙏🙏

Thank God she’ll be ok. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sending prayers. Thank God she will be alright.

How sad. It is amazing more aren't plowed down by that school by impatient drivers. My prayers to the victim and the kids who witnessed the accident.

What? No speed cameras? No flashing lights to show people that they must slow down. What a shame. Thank goodness the crossing guard will be okay.

Those two blocks from Hope to Lutheran Ave are a nightmare. When we were living there I literally had to dive out of the way of a vehicle on two separate occasions, and an elderly person was run over and killed at the 7/11 last year.

Send the driver to jail. How careless. To run over a crossing guard who was probably at minimum wearing a yellow vest. And to crash into a tree, after plowing over her, so hard that your airbags deployed? How fast were they going? Senseless.
