Bob CollinsNo matter what happens the rest of the way, Tracy Adams can well be considered one great mother.
She’s the mother of the sixth-grader who was standing by the side of the road in Hawick, Minnesota, when the school bus pulled up and this happened.
Thinking about what might have been is enough to make you shake your head, close your eyes, and turn away from it all.
It’s pure chance that Alexis Schwartz isn’t dead. Or is it?
This one paragraph in today’s Star Tribune article reveals why she’s still alive.
Her mother had taught her to wait back a distance from the road until the bus stopped and then walk to it. Friday, Schwartz turned her head and saw the semi bearing down, she said.
The driver of the truck reportedly has turned himself in.
We rec'd a call last evening from a person ID'ing themself as the driver of the semi inv in the incident on Hwy 23 last Fri..
