UPDATE: Injured Child In Bus Stop Accident Moved To Rehab
FULTON COUNTY — The Tippecanoe Valley Middle School student injured in a deadly school bus stop accident Tuesday, Oct. 30, has ben moved to rehab.
Maverik Lowe, 11, was flown to Parkview Hospital, Fort Wayne, after being struck by a pickup truck while boarding a school bus. Six-year-old twin brothers Xzavier and Mason Ingle, and nine-year-old Alivia Stahl were killed in the crash.
Alyssa L. Shepherd, 24, was traveling southbound on SR 25 when she failed to stop for a Tippecanoe Valley school bus, which had its stop arm and exterior lights activated. As children crossed the road to board the bus, Shepherd struck Lowe, Stahl, and the Ingle twins with her vehicle.
According to a statement posted by the family, Lowe will be moved to rehab.
“He’s all dressed and ready for our next step on his journey. It’s amazing to see him in clothes. It might sound simple but it’s definitely the little things that us as parents take for granted. Also, the staples are out of his neck.”
A GoFundMe for Lowe’s medical bills has been set up, with $65,075 raised so far.
