That's the problem with kids today. They do not pay attention whether they are taught to or not! I hope the kid is ok though.

There were more kids hit by autos in your day than they are today.

It's always "stupid kids"!

Obviously it was the kids fault if the driver was NOT charged. They have a crossing guard for a reason. By the way I was young once too and did get hit by a car and broke my leg because I was stupidly impatient and didn't wait for my parents. So I am well aware that kids having stupid moments.

Curious, did texting play a role in the accident?

She lived across from the school, she was a freshman, she went back to get some school work and instead of waiting on the crossing guard she chose to go on her own... Last I heard she had some serious head injuries and broke some bones on the lower limbs....
She is expected to be ok...

I think the rules are a little different when you are dealing with a person under 18 . . . May they have a speedy recovery!

I fear that this will one day happen here on Hwy 18. If you are ever in that area when school is starting or ending it is amazing how many kids run across the road. Even though the police are there stopping traffic, something bad will end up happening. Just like that wreck that happened last week, only thankfully it was car vs. car. I think some of that SPLOST money should have been used for a crosswalk/traffic light there for school times. Commissioners...are you listening?

Well...I'm glad to see poor education isn't only limited to the Lamar County area.

Go to Mymcr.net if you would like to get a picture of her. This young lady is the sweetest person. To #4, texting was not in play. To #1.1, grow up.

To #11, How could one of the crossing guards get hit if they were not doing their jobs, maybe before you write something for the general public to see you should have your facts straight. That incident three years ago was due to a driver not paying attention. You may be passing right before or after school traffic is gone, that would be the reason they are posted at those spots, for school, not to impress you.
