Family of Charlotte city councilman hit while waiting for school bus

Bokhari shared the news in a series of tweets Tuesday night. He said on the first day of school, his wife Krista Keith Bokhari and all three of their kids were at the bus stop drop off when a truck careened around the corner and hit her along with two of the kids.

He said the kids have been released and are good, but scraped up. His wife Krista can't move her neck, has a concussion and is in "some terrible pain," but her CT scans were good, Bokhari said.

"I’m feeling a lot of things right now," Bokhari tweeted, stating his gratefulness toward the Charlotte-Mecklenburg fire and police departments and Atrium Health for helping his family.

He also said he was "angry that we don’t have sidewalks" and tweeted about the importance of road safety, especially at bus stops.

"But above everything else I want to relay a message of the greatest importance: school is back in session, and many places don’t have sidewalks and there are no safe options," he wrote. "Slow down. There’s nowhere you need to be that’s worth changing someone’s family forever. Remember that."
