Crash at Saint Kevin Parish in Springfield, Pennsylvania, leaves teacher badly injured, 5 others hurt
A teacher was badly injured and five others were hurt on Monday after a crash in the parking lot of Saint Kevin Parish in Springfield, Delaware County, sources said.
It happened around 2:45 p.m. at the Catholic parish at 200 West Sproul Road.
St. Francis of Assisi School identified the teacher injured in the crash as Amy Travers and asked people to pray for her and her family. The school wrote Travers was helping students leave school in the parking lot when the crash happened. Her condition is not known at this time.
According to sources, five others were injured in the crash, including four people who were taken to the hospital. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia said a student suffered minor scrapes to the face but didn't require further medical treatment.
"One of [our] beloved teachers was struck by a car while helping with the car line for our little ones at SFA," St. Francis of Assisi School wrote on Facebook. "She is such a fantastic educator and an even better person."
Travers, a preschool teacher at St. Francis of Assisi School, was teaching at St. Kevin School after a massive fire burned down one of the buildings at St. Francis of Assisi School in October.
St. Kevin School welcomed the 150 St. Francis of Assisi School students who were affected by the fire by offering nine classrooms.
