The state of Ohio is no stranger to crashes involving students 18 and younger: numbers from the Ohio Department of Transportation show that over the last five years, over 4,500 crashes involving pedestrians 18 and younger have happened, resulting in 126 deaths. And so to help prevent a tragedy like this from happening close to home, those with Lima City Schools urge drivers to be patient with the extra traffic and to not pass school buses that are picking up or dropping kids off.
