Man, I'm just glad no one was seriously hurt! You know, accidents like this can be super scary, but it's always good to see that people are looking out for each other - like the emergency responders who rushed to the scene and helped those in need 
. And I love how the school is getting back to normal soon... just a little reminder to all of us to stay alert on the road, you know? 
Those drivers have got to be more careful, especially when it comes to running red lights 
. But even with an incident like this, I'm still optimistic - there are so many good people out there making a difference! 
. so glad no one was seriously hurt, but still, it's crazy that someone would run through a red light like that. minor injuries to both the driver and the student are still pretty lucky imo. anyway, hope everyone is doing okay and that the school can get back to normal soon 
. gotta wonder what led up to that accident though... maybe they should look into some traffic cameras or something 
.
just great, another day where a human decides to be a human traffic cone on 4-way stops... like, what even is the point of having lights if we're gonna ignore them? 
and honestly can't believe no one else got hurt, that's some next-level luck right there. wonder if the driver had a moment of clarity or just decided to take their caffeine high out for a spin 
had to pause my day when I saw it on the news - some poor kid gets hurt and a driver loses control, totally senseless 
. hope the injured student recovers soon 
. wonder what really happened that morning, authorities gotta get to the bottom of this 
I was watching the news and saw that car just fly into the auditorium... I mean, it's a miracle no one was seriously hurt. The fact that the student who got injured is going to the hospital for evaluation just shows how unpredictable life can be.
and now they're worried about the driver's identity? what's next, protecting their feelings? the school just happens to have a fancy auditorium that could've used some repair work anyway 
. and another injury to add to the excitement of the morning 
.
That's a really scary thing that happened at Elizabeth High School. I feel bad for the student who got hurt 
. How can someone just lose control like that? It's crazy thinking about what could've been if it was a different outcome 
. Glad no one else got seriously injured though 
. These things happen sometimes, but still... 
.
.
. Anyway, fingers crossed everyone involved makes a full recovery 
.
Thankfully no one was seriously hurt tho, thats a huge blessin 
.
Just heard about this crazy morning crash in New Jersey where a car went off the road and smashed into a high school auditorium! Luckily no one else was hurt besides the student who got injured 
. Glad to hear that both the driver and the injured student are getting medical attention, though 
. Fingers crossed they get through this okay 
hopefully it's just a minor injury and not something more serious. authorities should identify the driver asap so we can figure out what happened
