Source: Tulsa World, Okla.迷你倉出租Aug. 28--Tulsa police and Tulsa Public Schools officials called the death of a child who was hit by an SUV in the parking lot of a Tulsa elementary school Tuesday afternoon an unfortunate, tragic accident.The 4-year-old girl had been standing with her mother in a grassy curbside area on the Park Elementary School grounds, at 3205 W. 39th St., when she "did what little kids do" and stepped off into the area where vehicles turn to get onto the campus, Tulsa Public Schools spokesman Chris Payne said. The girl was then struck by a black Chevrolet sport utility vehicle, dragged 10 to 12 feet and pinned under the vehicle, Payne said.She was declared dead at the scene.The girl and her mother were there to pick up a sibling, a boy who attends the nearby Early Childhood Development Center-Porter and was being dropped off by a school bus at Park Elementary, Payne said. The collision happened just after 3 p.m. during a busy time when many people were outside the school, Payne said."It's just a tragic, tragic, accident," Payne said. "We're very saddened, and we feel bad for the child's family and the sibling."Payne and Tulsa Police Sgt. Vic Regalado said it didn't appear that the driver could have done anything to avoid the collision. Police declined to identify the driver, who, along with some school faculty members, spent part of Tuesday afternoon speaking with a counselor inside the school, Payne said.Some faculty members hugged and congregated outside the school as emergency personnel surveyed the area where the SUV came to a stop.School officials planned to have counselors return this week to speak with affected students and teachers. Payne said officials may take a look at after-school pickup procedures to see whether changes need to be made."Our deepest sympathies g迷你倉 out to the family of the 4-year-old girl who was hit by a car in front of Park Elementary this afternoon," Superintendent Keith Ballard said in a statement."This is truly a tragedy for everyone involved, and all of Tulsa Public Schools grieves when such a young life is taken away. ...Our hearts and prayers also go out to the driver and family of the vehicle, as this was an unfortunate accident."Ballard continued, saying: "While we believe there is little that could have been done to prevent this tragedy, we want to urge drivers to be cautious when driving near schools and crosswalks. They need to give their full attention to the road and be mindful of children and their surroundings at all times."Payne said the school system warns drivers throughout the school year to be careful in school zones because of how unpredictable children can be."We do a lot every year to highlight as school starts to make sure drivers are vigilant and that kids are safe," Payne said. "This was a tragic accident, and it doesn't sound like there's anything the driver could have done differently. It's tragic and unfortunate."Josh Brown and Terrani Douglas live near the school and have two children who are students there. As medical personnel descended on the scene, Brown said he was still trying to decide how to tell their children what had happened. Douglas said the children always want to walk home from school alone, since the family's residence is less than a block away."Not going to happen," Brown said, indicating that an adult would walk with them.World Staff Writer Andrea Eger contributed to this story.Dylan Goforth 918-581-8451dylan.goforth@tulsaworld.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Tulsa World (Tulsa, Okla.)
