First responders were on the scene of an accident involving a vehicle that struck at least two students near Deer Park High School in Deer Park, TX.
At this time, the condition of the students is unknown. Deer Park PD and EMS were on the scene. A Hood News Peep sent in these clips.
From the Principal:
At about 9:30 a.m. today, an accident took place in the southwest section of the Abshier Stadium parking lot. The accident involved a vehicle and two South Campus students who were walking across the parking lot toward the school. The vehicle circled across part of the parking lot and struck the two students.
School administrators and the school nurse responded immediately, and police and emergency crews also reported to the scene. The two students were stabilized by EMS crews and transported by ambulance to a local hospital. They were conscious and responsive after the incident, but both of them sustained injuries. Police are investigating the incident.
I know that you share our concern for the injured students, but due to privacy laws, we are not able to share any personal details about them. At this point, they appear to be in stable condition.
Students are following a special testing schedule today, so some of them were leaving South Campus at the time of the accident. Several students witnessed the incident or arrived at the scene soon after it took place. Witnessing this kind of event can be a very upsetting experience, and our counseling staff members are available to provide support for students.
Finally, I hope you’ll join our South Campus team in keeping the students in our thoughts and prayers.
Regards,
Kirk Taylor
Principal, Deer Park High School-South Campus
Our thoughts are with the students and their families Waiting on Deer Park ISD to see if they provide info.
Stay safe, Hood News Peep’s.
