Three children were struck by a vehicle and killed at an Indiana school bus stop Tuesday, state police said. The children were at a Tippecanoe Valley bus stop near State Road 25 when they were struck by a vehicle, according to FOX59. Three children died and one child was reportedly airlifted to a Fort Wayne hospital. It wasn’t immediately clear which school the children attended. “ISP is investigating a fatal crash in Fulton County. Preliminary info is three children were struck & killed at a school bus stop near 4600 N State Road 25,” the Indiana State Police said in a tweet. “PIO Sgt. Tony Slocum is at the scene. Updated and confirmed info will be sent via news release later today.” It wasn’t immediately clear if the driver of the vehicle stayed at the scene. The driver wasn't immediately identified. The children were only described as being of elementary school age, according to WISH-TV. Police were still investigating the incident and more information was expected to be released later.

I drive through a neighborhood every morning with bus stops on the corners of intersections. Some days I am trapped behind the bus as it stops at every one. It is fairly dark at this time of year. However, none of the kids I see have to cross the street to get on the bus. They all enter from the right. I know drivers have to stop in both directions when a school bus stops because kids may cross on the other side. But I think it should be arranged so that kids do not have to cross the street to get on a bus. Their lives are too important to trust to idiot drivers looking at their phones.

That doubles the time and doubles the cost of school transportation. That is a hell of an impact.

Prayers. I don’t have children but have sometimes wondered how parents go on after such a loss. God’s Grace is the only answer.

The extra week of DST in the fall was sold as “for the children’s safety while Trick-or-Treating.”
