A Near Miss

Today I witnessed an almost tragedy.

Mother with three children.  Two in a double stroller, one child in front of the other.  The third child is walking alongside the stroller.

Crossing an intersection where 3 lanes of traffic have stopped for a red light.

Flashing lights and a blaring siren from a police car approaching the intersection in the parking lane.

Mother stops just as the police car reaches the crosswalk.

The child sitting in the front seat of the stroller hops out, and misses being hit by the police car by a foot.

NO CHILD RIDING IN A STROLLER IS MATURE ENOUGH TO DECIDE WHETHER HE/SHE SHOULD BE STRAPPED IN.
