A mother and her two toddlers were struck by an allegedly drunk driver while leaving preschool, resulting in serious injuries for one of the children.
A disturbing incident occurred when a mother, Patrice Pisani, and her two young sons were struck by a grey SUV driven by a 68-year-old woman, who was allegedly under the influence of alcohol. The incident was captured on CCTV, showing the moment the mother instinctively attempted to move her children out of the vehicle's path as it sped towards them. Tragically, the vehicle collided with the family, crashing into a gate and causing significant injuries.
Following the collision, reports indicated that Ms. Pisani's youngest son suffered the most severe injuries, including damage to his leg and burns from the vehicle's undercarriage. The incident highlights the devastating consequences of impaired driving and raises concerns regarding the safety of children in such environments, especially near schools and preschools where traffic accidents can lead to severe outcomes.
Local authorities have responded by emphasizing the importance of responsible driving, particularly within community settings where families are frequently present. The arrest of the alleged driver further emphasizes the legal repercussions of such reckless actions, and this incident may prompt renewed discussions around stricter enforcement of laws to prevent drunk driving, especially in areas populated by children.
