15 Children and Teachers Hit by Car

400416 02: Ivan Palomino Sr. (R) carries his six-year-old son Ivan while his seven-year-old daughter Vanesa, on crutches, and sister Blanca Palomino (3rd R) exit the chapel after a prayer service to give thanks that no one has died since a car plowed into 12 children, including Vanessa, and three teachers the day before at Westminster Academy Christian Day School, January 31, 2002, in Eagle Rock near Los Angeles, CA. 65-year-old Kae Hak In of Glendale, at the school to pick up her grandchild, apparently put her foot on the gas pedal instead of the brake and her car lurched into the crowd of children. A group of seventh-and eighth-graders on the the Arcadia Christian School basketball team helped a group of adults pick up the car to extracate four or five people before firefighters arrived.
