A 57-year-old woman pulled into the daycare parking lot to pick up a family member when somebody ran out in front of her pickup truck. The woman attempted to brake but accidentally hit the accelerator and launched forward.
The 57-year-old woman struck three young children, their 32-year-old mother, and a teacher at the daycare. They all went to the hospital and are doing fine. The kids are 2, 3, and 5 years old.
