Good morning,
We'd like to provide everyone with an update regarding an accident that happened this morning. A senior was driving his 10th grade sister to the high school. At the corner of Highway 3 and SW 3rd Street (the entrance of the HS/MS), the student turned in front of a semi. Luckily a different student had just used the crosswalk, so both drivers were not going fast. The student, his sister, and the semi driver are all ok. Thank you to Mr. Vorba for being first on the site, and to Police Chief Leu for his quick response.
