A student was hit by a car this morning outside of Madison Southern High School in Berea, according to officials. The student was crossing Glades Road near the school when the accident occurred, according to Erin Stewart with Madison County Schools.
The student received only minor injuries but was taken to the hospital, and at the moment there are not any charges pending against the driver.
Stewart added that some parents drop their kids off across the street from the school rather than wait in line, but that means the students have to cross Glades Road. The accident did not happen on school property.
She adds that it is safer to drop the children off at the actual school as it gets congested on school property but the extra time to wait is worth the safety of the students.
