A sad accident between a school bus and a car killed a small child and hurt six other people. It happened quickly and hard. After the crash, the young driver, a passenger, and two other kids in the car were taken to Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro for medical care.
The crash also hurt the bus driver and a Hairston Middle School student who was 12 years old. State police say that Kie Landon Johnson, who was 17 and from Whitsett, Tennessee, died at the crash site on Knox Road, south of McLeansville, around 4:30 in the afternoon.
18-year-old Jacob Almon Larkin of Whitsett was driving his Toyota in the southbound lane of Knox Road when it hit the center line and went into the path of a school bus going north. This terrible tragedy has shaken our town, and none of us can find comfort or hope. We are thinking about and praying for Kie Landon Johnson’s family and friends during this very hard time.
