  That’s horrible. Reminder to teach your kids to look both ways, even if they have the right of way

      While I obviously agree that it’s the responsibility of the driver to not run red lights and mow down children, the truck will not care about who’s right. Practically speaking, we should do everything we can to reduce the likelihood of this happening, which includes educating children to look both ways before crossing the street.

  Hey, thanks for the video, good to get it out there, but this really does require a more descriptive title or text description and an NSFW tag. You see a pair of kids get hit by a truck and definitely get injured. It is unclear from the video if only one survived or both, but according to another commenter both survived.

  Jesus Christ, that fucking asshole. I usually try not to go all biblical on the justice system. But that’s very, very difficult when children get hurt.
