Tragic Crash at Texas School Claims Teacher’s Life, Hospitalizes Five Children
A heartbreaking incident occurred at a school in San Antonio, Texas, where a teacher tragically lost her life, and five children were injured after a car crash.
The accident took place at Excelled Montessori Plus, a private school, during the afternoon hours as parents were picking up their children after a holiday event.
What Happened?
The crash occurred at around 4 p.m. on Thursday. According to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, a parent attempting to leave the school parking lot accidentally accelerated her vehicle.
This caused her car to collide with another vehicle before crashing into a fence. Tragically, several children were playing near the fence at the time.
The beloved teacher, identified as 22-year-old Alexia Rosales, was among the people hit during the accident. She was playing with the children when she became trapped under one of the vehicles.
Despite the firefighters’ efforts to rescue her using a hydraulic lift, she sadly passed away at the scene.
Injuries to the Children
Five children were rushed to the hospital following the crash. Their injuries ranged from serious to precautionary, but all the children are alive and receiving medical care.
Investigation Details
Sheriff Salazar revealed that the parent responsible for the crash has a medical history that may have contributed to the incident. Intoxication has been ruled out as a factor.
Authorities are still deciding whether to press criminal charges against the parent involved.
