No 2nd chances for Hasani Wesley: To prevent children from boarding schools on highways.
This is for the children and parents who have to suffer with the lost of a loved one from the carelessness of another being.Being aware can make a difference.
Why is this important?
I am Hasani Wesley's older sister Halima Wesley , I have started this petition for all of the children that have died or got hit trying to go to school. An aware community can make a difference, and save many lives. My brother was a beautiful spirit and he didn't deserve to die because of failure to abide school laws.My brothers murderer has not been charged....
I got all green lights while driving home yesterday... It was as if riding on the highway but I was on highpoint rd in greensboro..which is a busy street. I realized that even if my brother isn't visual he can be my light when I'm driving or the bird in my window that sings when I wake up to all of my responsibilities he is my everything literally, but for the most part he is my Angel.
An 11-year-old boy died Wednesday morning after being hit by an SUV while trying to get on a school bus.
Hasani Wesley, 11, died after the collision, which happened around 7 a.m. on N.C. 66 near Shaddowfax Drive. N.C. 66 remained closed until around noon.
Wesley was trying to get on the bus just a few hundred feet from his home when the collision with the Jeep occurred, troopers said. The bus's lights were on, and the stop arm was out, troopers said.
The driver of the Jeep, Billy Roger Bailey, 47, of Kernersville, was coming from the opposite direction, troopers said. Bailey remained at the scene after the crash, troopers said.
Bailey told investigators that he simply didn't see the child crossing the road. He was driving the speed limit, and alcohol wasn't a factor in the crash either, troopers said.
Wesley normally caught the bus from the right-hand side of the road, but he missed it Wednesday morning, school officials said. The bus driver saw Wesley when coming back through the area and stopped to pick him up, which is legal, school officials said.
Wesley was a sixth grader at East Fosyth Middle School, said Theo Helm, spokesman for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. Wesley had been taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center after the collision, Helm said.
