My youngest daughter was hit by a car this morning, but she's okay.
00:06
I'm just kind of in a little bit of a daze, to be honest, as a parent.
00:12
You know,
00:13
just like I said, every day you got to count your luck and enjoy the moments.
00:25
Oh no, man,
00:28
I think it can hit my car and be okay.
00:35

She's in elementary school and she was walking to the bus stop this morning and a lady that was turning out of the neighborhood making a left-hand turn wasn't paying attention and ran right into her.
00:57
Luckily she kind of bounced off the side of the car so the car didn't run over her completely or anything like that but it did hit her.
01:05
So she was okay and there were some good Samaritans.
01:11
They stopped immediately to help her and all of that kind of thing.

One of them was a retired police officer here in Holly Springs.

One of her friends was at the
01:47
bus stop when it happened and saw the whole thing.
01:50
And she was the first one to call the EMS and she called us on the phone and really, really showed a lot of,
02:00
I don't know what you'd say about it, but just a lot of level-headedness for someone in a situation like that.
02:08
So,
02:09
so yeah, but that's how my day has been, just been dealing with all of that kind of stuff.
