How sad!! I'm praying for the teacher's family as well as the students and co-workers who witnessed such a horrible accident.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this! I had her as a kindergarten teacher many years ago. This is so sad and for it to happen in front of the students is just awful. If I'm not mistaken it's 25mph through that area I just don't understand how something like this could happen.
ReplyDelete1:07 is correct, speed limit is 25 when children are present. Obviously the biker was not going 25. Hope he/she gets the charges they deserve.
ReplyDeleteLet's all just pray for both the teacher's family as well as the cyclist and the cyclist's family...there is no "winner" here no matter what happens...
ReplyDeleteLet's just all pray for the family of the teacher and the cyclist as well as the cyclist's family...there really is no "winner" in this type of situation...lives were changed in a blink of an eye. I have had tragedy in my life where there is no "winner" either way either..."turn the other cheek"...

ReplyDeleteAlthough I genuinely appreciate your sentiment, one life was not "changed", it was taken away by foolish actions. Makes it rather difficult to turn the other cheek. Hope the guy get stuck with a manslaughter charge after he gets out of his hospital bed.
Where is the speed camera when you need it.
ReplyDeleteWho said this person was speeding?
ReplyDelete3:48 Many who were there (teachers) have said that the accident happened due to speed. I've talked to several of them. It's so sad.
