Fatal Accident Last Night

http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/l...Hurt-After-Being-Struck-by-Car-121555369.html

Does anyone know of the family who was involved? The boy was 8 years old so I would imagine this would have an impact on whatever school he attended.
My husband saw this last night on his way home from work and we listened in on the scanner for a little while.
There are rumors swirling that the driver was intoxicated but it's important to note that according to the sheriff's report he was not.
So terribly sad.

 

I just saw a report that this child was a student at Dominion Trail Elementary. I also heard that the driver of the vehicle that struck the pedestrians had the green light. So sad...

 

I assumed he probably went to Dominion Trail.
Just can't imagine

 

The boy was in first grade at Dominion Trail. A letter to parents will be sent home with children in their take home folders. A meeting for school staff members will be held after school. I don't believe that the children at school have been told yet. Tomorrow will be a tough day at school for students and staff alike as the word spreads and the children in the class begin to grasp what happened.

I have seen no reports of driver intoxication.

 

The school principal made the robo-calls stating what was also sent via email:
