Yes, Jess is better now thanks David. We will see how she goes at school today with her friends not there.
Yes Mike, very lucky. It was the quick thinking of the bus driver that saved them. In the instant the driver saw the truck he had about half a second to floor the accelerator which moved the bus forward just enough not to be hit T-boned! Which the experts said would have killed the kids.
Todays report is that all are going home tomorrow. Phew!
Kayla, the girl sitting next to Laura, that was found 200m back down the road, has stitches from the top of her forehead running down her nose and diagonally across her cheek going over near the base of her ear, and 10 more in the top of her head. A lot of the skin is missing off the side of her face. And yet she is happy and laughing (painfully, but laughing).
I do hope and pray it heals well for her without too much scarring.
Kayla's little brother (who was also in the bus) is getting a Bravery Award because he pulled the Unconcious Laura off the hot motor and back into the bus and then ran back up the road and stopped a car seconds before it ran over his sister.
I don't want to post any more on this subject. Let's just leave it at "They are all doing OK".
Thank you all.
