Tragic indeed. Unimaginable pain this family will go through.
I’d forgotten about an incident like this I almost witnessed. I was credit manager many moons ago for a big tire company. At the opposite end of the property from my office was the truck shop. I looked out to see a woman screaming hysterically as her husband was backing an 18 wheeler into a bay. He could not see her OR their 2 year old standing under that truck. I grabbed the intercom, but he couldn’t hear it, so I ran screeching (Got everyones attention! lol)and waving my arms and the guy finally saw me and stopped. Man! I wish I could still move that fast!
Oh God Bless you!
(prayers for the Grandpa in this story)
I was walking through a parking lot, carrying my two year old and holding my five year old’s hand, when he was suddenly shoved into me, by a car backing over his foot. I was shouting for them to stop, pushing at the car, terrified my son was going to get knocked entirely under, trying to pull him away and not drop my daughter...then I started screaming and they finally stopped. I have never been so intensely terrified.
The new cars are harder to see out of than the old ones. As soon as my children could understand, I started telling them that drivers could not see them behind a car. When my children were very small I would make someone be on watch duty when I was pulling out.
Prayers for the family, and the grandparents especially. They must be torn into shreds over this.
