Yesterday afternoon our school's (Broken Bow) van was bringing home highschool boys from Basketball camp. They were struck by a pickup who crossed into their lane. Both coaches and the driver of the pickup were killed.
Of the eight boys in the van, two were treated and released, the others were all taken to Kearney or Grand Island. 2 are in ICU. There are many broken bones and injuries. The 2 in ICU have head/ brain injuries.
One of the coaches was Bruce's cousin. He was a Geometry teacher and I was the para in his class.
One of the students who is critical condition is my cousin. Here is the latest on Chad:
Oh dear....how awful! Will be praying for all those involved. Sad, sad. :(
ReplyDeleteI never thought we would have to go thru another tragedy again. Hwy 2 is becoming death alley. Please pray for our small communities as we have many little towns all around us. Pray for the boys who are still in the hospital, watch over the boys who survived and are having issues but most of all pray for peace for the families who lost someone. It is a horrible thing to happen. I personally am glad that school is out so they will have the summer to heal but will they ever heal completely? I think it will be easier for everyone (staff, students,coaches) but just my opinion.
