The Tennessee Highway Patrol is still searching for the driver of a semi-truck after they barreled past a stopped school bus in Crockett County on Feb. 9, almost striking a child.

RISING SUN, Md. (WBAL) - Authorities in Cecil County, Maryland, are searching for a truck driver who flew by a stopped school bus and narrowly missed hitting two children. The frightening incident was caught on camera. Marks along a grass embankment and security video obtained from Duvall’s Lawn and Garden show just how close two girls, 7 and 11, came to being hit. A school bus stopped on Telegraph Road in Rising Sun, Maryland, to pick up the children. Cecil County sheriff’s deputies said the bus had its flashing lights on, warning drivers they needed to stop, but video shows a Toyota pickup truck pulling to the right and going around the bus. The pickup truck passed between the bus door and the children who were about to board, nearly hitting them. The mother of the 7-year-old was standing nearby, helplessly watching. “She was visibly upset and shaking,” said Brandon Stewart, the 7-year-old’s father. Shawn Kennedy, the 11-year-old’s father, said he watched the camera footage. “I mean, it’s just crazy. That’s all I can say,” he said. Cameras on the bus also captured images of the truck. “It’s very disturbing that somebody doesn’t have the common sense to wait five seconds so kids can get on the bus,” Stewart said. Cecil County sheriff’s deputies are trying to identify the driver. The sheriff’s office also issued a BOLO for the Toyota pickup. “This was a very dangerous incident. This person did this at high speed. We don’t know why the person was doing this, why the person chose to pass the school bus in that manner. Was the person in a hurry, committing a crime? That’s all the stuff we’re looking at,” Capt. Michael Holmes of the Cecil County sheriff’s office said. Kennedy said he talked to his daughter when she got home that day. “I said, ‘Are you OK?’ She said, ‘Yes, but dad, if I took one or two more steps, that truck would have hit me.’ That’s what hit me the worst,” he said. The two fathers said that while in school, counselors assisted the girls and allowed them to talk about the scary incident. ]]> Sun 15 Mar 2026 12:54:51 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1612744/speeding-pickup-truck-narrowly-avoids-children-boarding-school-bus-in-maryland/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1612732/lucky-maryland-man-survives-after-incident-with-semi-truck/

A Nebraska State Patrol trooper narrowly avoided being struck by a sliding car Thursday as icy conditions triggered a series of crashes on Interstate 80 just west of Lincoln. According to the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP), two troopers were assisting stranded motorists when an out-of-control vehicle drove into the scene, crashing into one of the vehicles already pulled over. Video released by NSP shows the troopers and travelers standing just feet away as the car skidded through the area. Despite only light snowfall, troopers reported numerous slide-offs in a short span of time. NSP said at least three vehicles lost control within about 15 minutes. Before the close call that was caught on NSP’s dashcam, the driver of the maroon vehicle lost control and spun to a stop. No injuries were reported in any of the slide-offs. NSP said the driver who lost control was not cited, adding that the immediate priority was clearing the dangerous area because of the continued slide-offs. NSP said the only vehicle able to drive away from the scene was a blue car that passed through, while all other vehicles involved had to be towed. Troopers are again urging drivers to slow down, warning that even light snow can create slick and dangerous driving conditions. ]]> Tue 03 Feb 2026 13:12:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610810/close-call-as-out-of-control-vehicle-nearly-strikes-nebraska-trooper/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1609690/a-man-stopped-to-hold-the-door-for-a-woman-and-it-saved-his-life/
