A teacher is in the hospital and a student was hurt after they were hit by a car during dismissal at Saint Kevin Parish in Delaware County. The student sustained minor injuries, but the teacher’s condition is unknown. NBC10’s Aaron Baskerville has the details.
A teacher and three students were hurt after a car struck a pickup line outside of a Delaware County Catholic School.
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 -- identified as Amy Travers -- was helping students at the pickup line when she was struck by a car. Police responded to the scene and found Travers wedged underneath the vehicle. First responders, police and parents moved her from underneath the vehicle and she was taken to the hospital for treatment. Investigators have not yet revealed her condition.
Three students -- including a child who was knocked down as she was entering a vehicle that was struck by the car -- were injured during the incident. The student who fell suffered minor scrapes to the face and didn't require hospitalization while the two other students were treated at the scene.

Police said the driver of the striking vehicle remained at the scene and is cooperating as the investigation continues.
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,” a school spokesperson wrote. “Pray for Amy Travers and her family.”
