The kids were ok. A car a few cars in front of the kids stopped quickly to turn. Tyler and the cars in front of him all stopped in time; however, the car right behind Tyler couldn't. She veered off the road, completely missing Tyler, but the car right behind her rear-ended him. Several more cars had to veer off to the left or right behind them, but Tyler was the only one who was hit. It was mostly a line of cars who had just left the high school, and the kids are always so close to each other when they pull out. It could have been much worse.
Tyler did a great job handling everything. It was a very good learning experience for him, and it was nice as a parent to know your kid can handle things under pressure. I'm sure the other kid's parents didn't feel the same. Turns out he had just gotten his license back from a previous accident. The kid's dad reached out to Ron right away to let him know he would be happy to make things right (in other words, please please don't file a claim with your insurance company). There was just a little cosmetic damage to the bumper, so there really wasn't anything to report anyway.
A couple days later the mail started rolling in. It came to both the kids and to "the parents of". Danielle was a little creeped out that their information was so easy to access. Tyler was entertained.
This ended up being a good learning experience for the kids. It was a huge reminder to me to never be lax in praying for your children's safety.
