We just had a student killed in a horrible auto-pedestrian accident this fall. The rumors that went around through the students were terrible and wrong. The first one was, "None of the drivers who hit her called 9-1-1." That was completely wrong. "No one stopped to help her." That was another rumor that was wrong.
I want to read the police report facts.
They tried to do Heimlich on the student, but he was so large they couldn't reach around him.
There were nurses at the school for a blood drive, and they tended to the student almost immediately, even before the paramedics arrived.
I found 6 news articles related to this incident on a news.google.com search, and this is the only one that mentioned the "problem" with the cell phones and suggested that the student wasn't treated promptly.
Another freeper pointed me to this article, which paints a different story.

I will try to post the results of the police investigation when it is made public. I will also try to remember to ping you.
