💡 In Memory and Motion
On this day in 2018, a driver in Rochester, Indiana ignored a stopped school bus.
In an instant, three young lives were lost, and another child was seriously injured. 💔
That tragedy changed everything.
It became a turning point for school bus safety and Gardian Angel was honored to aid the NTSB’s federal investigation, contributing to the nationwide visibility research that continues to protect students today.
🕯️ We Remember
Every Gardian Angel light is built with that day in mind. Every installation honors those children and helps prevent another tragedy.
💡 We Move Forward
Just yesterday, on the eve of this anniversary, another Ohio district joined the mission adding 20 more Gardian Angel lights to their fleet to protect nearly 3,000 students each day.
Because when students cross before sunrise, visibility is everything.
🚸 We Continue the Mission
The light that started as a response to tragedy has become a movement now approved in 26 states and growing.
💛 In memory of Alivia, Mason, and Xzavier.
Their legacy shines on through every light, every bus, every child who gets home safely.
