Wishing this little man all the very best. My heart goes out to his entire family, especially his brothe having seen such a terrible accident occur.
Many healing vibes to you little man.
Ya that would be tough to witness. I hope the little man comes through alright.
I’m always nervous when I see small kids playing by a road side… they’re sometimes so mindless when they play. I like to back my truck into the driveway when I can just in case, because I always figure that’s the blind spot that might one day get me.
That’s something I was taught years ago, I back in to park everywhere. Good point Eagle.
Still don’t think the speed limits low enough on residential streets, because yeah, kids aren’t thinking of traffic, we gotta think for them.
Wish this child well.
wish the best for the little fella.
