An accident at the Pickett County K-8 School has caused trailers to no longer be allowed in the student drop off/ pick up line.
Director of Schools Diane Elder said a school resource officer was clipped by a trailer carried by a truck earlier this week.
“Our SRO was directing the traffic during the student drop off time at the K-8 and a truck with a trailer attached to it came thru. The fender of the trailer hit him,” Elder said.
Elder said the officer suffered some bruising and has returned to work. Elder said moving forward, vehicles pulling anything will be asked to wait in the upper parking lot to pick up their student.
Elder said the accident serves as a reminder to be cautious in any school zone or car rider area.
