It hasn't been a good week around here.....Tues morning a 7 yr old girl was getting on the school bus and a pick up killed her. Hit and run. It happened right down our road. The hubby was hauling gravel for the county and was the first one that came upon the accident. 18 kids on the bus watched it happen. She laid 3 bus lengths down the road. She was DOA. Thank God they found the driver of the pick up because every one of those kids could describe the truck. We live in a rural area where everyone knows everyone and it's really hit hard. I feel so bad for Gary as he's having flashbacks. He's a volunteer fireman/emt, but you never get over the sight of a little girl laying there lifeless. Anyway, was going to ask for your prayers for not only the little girl's family, but also the hubby..... but I'm afraid to even ask after I keep reading the the thread about people not thinking this is the right place.....so I guess I'll just ask for you to keep him in your thoughts. Thanks Deb NORTHWOOD — A 7-year-old Worth County girl was killed Tuesday morning by an alleged hit-and-run driver as she prepared to get on her school bus. The Iowa State Patrol identified the girl as Kadyn Halvorson of rural Kensett. The driver, identified as Aaron Dwayne Gunderson, 31, of Northwood, allegedly fled the scene but was later apprehended. Gunderson was ticketed for failure to obey a stop sign and yield the right of way. Iowa State Patrol Trooper Mindy Griffin said the Northwood-Kensett school bus was stopped to pick up the child when a 2002 Chevrolet pick-up traveling southbound on Raven Avenue failed to stop for the bus and struck the girl. The accident happened at 7:49 a.m. at 4336 Raven Ave., near the home of the child’s babysitter. It’s about 2.3 miles north of 410th Street/County Road A38 between Northwood and Kensett. The child was crossing Raven Avenue to get on the northbound bus when she was hit. Griffin said the bus had its red lights activated and the stop arm was deployed from the side of the bus as required by law. The children on the school bus witnessed the accident, as did the babysitter, Griffin said. The vehicle and Gunderson were taken into custody by the Worth County deputies about two miles from the accident scene. The accident remains under investigation. No charges have been filed. Northwood-Kensett Superintendent Tom Nugent said Tuesday was a sad day for everyone in the school district. “We were notified of the tragic accident and we are now providing crisis assistance for our kids and we are working in collaboration with law enforcement,” Nugent said. — By Peggy Senzarino, Arian Schuessler
