A 12-year-old girl from Florida is in critical condition after being accidentally run over by her mother on the first day back at school. On August 12, as the mother was dropping her off at Booker Middle School in Sarasota, the girl dropped some markers and bent down to pick them up from under the vehicle. Unaware of her daughter’s actions, the mother began to drive off, running her over. The girl was airlifted to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital with severe injuries. The Florida Highway Patrol and Sarasota County Schools both emphasized the importance of following safety protocols and using designated drop-off areas.
