APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV) – For the second time since April, a child was hit and injured at the busy six-way intersection between Badger and College Aves. and Story St. It was an all too familiar scene Tuesday afternoon and one that witnesses still can not believe their eyes.
“Unimaginable, it was like slo-mo, you know what’s going to happen before it does and I could see the kids there, and some of them scattered away, but… it was terrible,” Appleton parent Madeline Schreiber said. “As soon as it was coming this way and I saw it was going up the median and onto the sidewalk, I told my kids, screamed at them, to look away.”

According to witnesses, two cars collided before one of them went up on the sidewalk and ran over the 7th-grade girl.
Schreiber then put her van in park, and directed traffic around the injured girl and crashed cars. She was relieved the girl was conscious and crying out for help, which was not far away.
