“My son was getting into the front passenger door after school today and went he stepped up on the auto running boards it closed on his foot crushing his foot in between the vehicle and running board. The running board would not release. Multiple people in the carpool line saw my son screaming and crying in pain and had to run over to help me stand on and put pressure on the running board to create enough space for him to be able to barely pull his foot free. He suffered redness, swelling and bruising in most of his toes and toe joints. Plus trauma from the incident itself. …”
