A teacher and a student were hurt in Delaware County after a crash at Saint Kevin Parish as students were being dismissed. According to the archdiocese, a car hit the pick-up line injuring the two people. There is no word on the teacher’s condition, the student was said to only have minor injuries.
A teacher and student were both struck by a car in the parking lot outside of a Catholic school in Delaware County.
The crash occurred Monday, around 2:45 p.m., outside Saint Kevin Parish School on 200 W. Sproul Road in Springfield, Pennsylvania. A spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia told NBC10 a teacher was helping students at the pickup line when she and a student were struck by a car. The teacher was taken to the hospital while the student – who suffered minor scrapes to the face – didn’t require hospitalization.
Officials have not yet revealed the teacher’s condition. A spokesperson said the teacher – identified as Amy Travers -- works for St. Francis of Assisi, a Springfield Catholic school that transferred students and staff to Saint Kevin Parish following a devastating fire in October.
“She is such a fantastic educator and an even better person,” the spokesperson wrote. “Pray for Amy Travers and her family.”
