About 10 to 15 students were on the playground at the time of the crash, but none of them were injured, according to an official at Mitchell Elementary.
A crossing guard working nearby helped pull students to safety after the truck crashed.
“It was crazy like the ‘Matrix,'” the crossing guard said. “He runs the red light, smacks a lady, does a ‘360, I bob and weave, I’m thankful. Thank you, Jesus, for letting me be alive.”
