Girl in Critical Condition After School Drop-off Accident

In a tragic incident in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, a two-year-old girl named P Shyla was killed when a school van accidentally ran over her as she crossed the road with her mother. The driver was arrested following the incident, which echoes previous similar accidents involving school vans in the region. In a separate incident in Florida, a mother accidentally struck her 12-year-old daughter with her car during a school drop-off when the girl bent down to retrieve dropped school supplies. The girl was airlifted to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital and was reported to be in critical condition but has since stabilized. Authorities emphasized the importance of vigilance and following designated drop-off procedures to prevent such tragedies. Both cases highlight the need for increased awareness and safety measures around school zones.
