A-OK, She Just Can’t Walk
Posted July 4, 2013 at 6:44 pm by Tim Dustrude
I just got a call from Kevin Holmes – That was his daughter Jessica that got run over in the parade today. Good news is – she is home and doing well.
“She’s A-OK, she just can’t walk” says her mom.
Jessica was carrying a banner for the library, when she tripped and fell. Then the ’57 Thunderbird following behind her couldn’t stop in time. Kevin said something about those older cars’ brakes not working too well when they’ve heated up. She went under the car and was dragged a bit before the car stopped. More good news is that she didn’t get run over by the tire. People in the crowd rushed out and actually lifted the car – tipped it up so she could be pulled out from under it.
She was taken to the hospital and found to have a fractured right ankle and some road rash.
Kevin wants to say a big thank you for your concern to everyone calling, and to let you know that things are good and they are just going to chill out for the evening.
