"I got a cut on my bone," Timothy Sims said as he showed a deep cut on his leg.
Sims learned a painful lesson about being in the wrong place, at the wrong time Monday morning.
"I go to the bus to catch my bus and all of a sudden I saw this dude across the street trying to fight," said Sims.
Sims says the fight at a bus stop on Bonita Drive was between a teenager and a Gulfport student. Sims says he saw the student grab a stick.
"He got a stick or something, and just started swinging," Sims said. "So he hit the dude and the dude came outside and started whooping him right there, and the next thing I know his sister came and just ran us all over. Oh yeah, I was kind of scared."
Police say the woman behind the wheel was 18-year-old Kreshanda Pruitt. They say she's the sister of the Gulfport student involved in the fight.
When asked what went through his mind when he saw the car coming at him, Sims answered "I don't know. Move. Get out of the way."
"Somehow, she was notified of that altercation," said Assistant Gulfport Police Chief Alfred Sexton. "And then for whatever reason, led her to drive that vehicle, striking six juveniles. This is very unusual. It's very bizarre."
The six victims were taken to Gulfport Memorial Hospital to be treated mainly for cuts and bruises. Of those six, one does not attend school, one goes to school in Harrison County, and the other four attend classes in Gulfport.
Timothy Sims missed classes for the day. He's waiting for his injured leg to heal, and hoping for a calmer morning tomorrow.
"I'm going to school in the morning, that's all," Sims said.
Kreshanda Pruitt was arrested at her Gulfport home shortly after the incident. She's in the Harrison County Jail under a $100,000 bond.
The violence rose to a Kreshanda as the car plowed into the commuters.
damn, you're quick .. and funny!
Is that a stupid question or a stupid answer?
I hates dat!
Stupid question, smart answer.
OK .. who is this ... the girl or Stymie ?
Monster.
It was a horrible Kreshenda lot of students got hurt.
Her sister, DeKrashanda, is a much more soft spoken girl.
"Buckwheats bin shot!"
"The violence rose to a Kreshanda as the car plowed into the commuters."

And as the Gulf Coast again suffers this tragic accident, FEMA is no where to be found...
Bad stuff
But then there is a lesson of sorts here.
Never bring a stick to a car fight.
And Texxon is there!
Question: What is the last thing that goes through a bee's mind when she hits the windshield on a car?
Answer: Her stinger.
All in all, is was a terrible accidental.
"Yesterday, Simon's glassy-eyed alleged killer, Taliyah Taylor, 24, denied any wrongdoing. "Who did I hit? I don't know what you're talking about," she said before she was arraigned.
Prosecutors said Taylor, who had a 2000 DWI rap, was a disaster waiting to explode Wednesday night - stoned on ecstasy and marijuana and driving with a revoked license.
She was speeding at 100 mph on the wrong side of Forrest Avenue in Staten Island without headlights when she ran a red light, prosecutors said. The car hit Simon with such force, his legs were severed.
Taylor was found naked outside her wrecked car - which had gone airborne and vaulted a 10-foot fence - crooning a Lil' Kim song, "Money, Power, Respect." She told cops, "God wanted me to drive naked."
Taylor, an aspiring rapper, had been cutting a demo at a recording studio when she suddenly bolted to her grandmother's house.
"She talked about demons coming to get her," said Taylor's mom, Regina McClain. "She said her dad was coming to help her. He's been dead 16 years."
She said Taylor, has custody of a 7-year old nephew and lives with her female lover.
