WILTON MANORS, Fla. – At least 2 children were killed and three others were injured after the driver of a vehicle mowed them down in Wilton Manors Monday afternoon, officials said. The crash occurred in the 2400 block of Northwest Ninth Avenue in Broward County. Fort Lauderdale Battalion Chief Stephen Gollan told WPLG in addition to the 2 fatalities, three other kids were taken to Broward Health Medical Center — with one child listed as critical and the others in stable condition. Residents were being asked to avoid the area as police conducted an investigation.
Me too...at 78.
I believe it was a public transit bus rather than a school bus.
Laws need to be changed for anyone who even attempts to purposely Plow thru people with a vehicle. Immediate death penalty!
That would be a good ending to the story.
LOL! That’s certainly true where I live.
It’s hard to imagine anybody just blasting around a school bus or any bus that way. He may not have been trying to hit anybody, it’s just that he was mad because somebody was delaying him, and of course, he’s obviously the most important person in the universe. Weirdly, with all this covid nonsense, I have found that general social behavior has plunged and many people have become just rude, angry, ugly raving lunatics. And they’re proud of it and feel entitled to do it.
We destroyed our society for a media-event “disease” and this is the result.
“The victims ranged in age from 1 to 10 years old, said Fort Lauderdale Fire-Rescue Batallion Fire Chief Stephen Gollan.”

All Democrats!
Yeah, hopefully the police don’t stop shooting until they run out of ammo.
Horrible. I read the article above and it was apparently a county bus and the driver ran up onto the SIDEWALK to get around the bus because he didn’t want to wait. So the poor kids weren’t even in the street.
Wonder why? Maybe didn’t get a specific enough description of the car from witnesses.
“The Broward Sheriff’s Office, which is investigating the horrific hit-and-run crash, did not release a description of the vehicle.”

Dreadful. RIP.
Some things you never should do and one of them is pass a stopped school bus no matter how irritating the bus driver is. I’ve had school busses run stop signs to get in front of me and then stop on a major road to let off (slowly) a dozen or more kids in front of an apartment complex - rather than pull into the apartment complex and let the kids off away from the main road. But not the kids’ fault.
This guy/gal should get a very long vacation at the state’s expense.
I just saw it was a stopped TRANSIT bus, Not a school bus. The driver may not have been at fault since passing a stopped transit bus is NOT illegal, but by taking off made his/her situation 100 times worse. Of course it could be an illegal and will never get caught or a drunk pulling a Teddy Kennedy so as not to be drunk when caught.
that was wise.
Search On For Wilton Manors Hit-&-Run Driver Who Struck 6 Children, Killing 2
Kids were not passengers on the county bus. Perp drove on the sidewalk to go around the bus and struck kids who were on the sidewalk. Perp still not in custody.
It wasn’t a school bus, it was a county bus.
I had wondered. See my update at post #56.
very much so.
Like West Hollywood..
“So the poor kids weren’t even in the street.”
Not even.
When this person is found a corpse is the only thing that needs to be carried in.
