The school bus doors were opening. Backpacks were ready. A new day was supposed to begin.
Instead, a quiet morning was shattered by a moment of reckless speed.
๐ Three Siblings, One Tragic Moment
Six-year-old twins Xzavier Ingle and Mason Ingle, along with their nine-year-old sister Alivia Stahl, were struck and killed while boarding their school bus. A pickup truck failed to stop, barreling through a moment meant to be safeโone protected by flashing lights and the trust that drivers would obey the law.

๐จ A Violation With Irreversible Consequences
Investigators say the driver showed reckless disregard for traffic laws designed to protect children. In seconds, laughter turned to screams, and a routine school morning became a scene of unimaginable loss. The driver was later charged with reckless homicide.
๐ One Child Survives
Another child, Maverik Lowe, was also struck but survived. His survival is a fragile light in a story defined by darknessโone family spared a funeral, even as others faced the unthinkable.
๐ธ A Community in Mourning
Flowers, stuffed animals, and handwritten notes now mark the spot where the children stood waiting for their bus. Vigils glow at dusk as neighbors gatherโparents holding their children closer, teachers struggling to explain loss, and classmates grappling with empty desks.
๐งธ Lives Remembered, Not Reduced to Headlines
Xzavier and Mason were twins who shared everythingโbirthdays, secrets, and dreams just beginning to form. Alivia was a big sister, nine years old, already learning how to look out for the little ones she loved. Their lives were full of promise, curiosity, and ordinary joys that should have stretched far into the future.
โ ๏ธ A Stark Reminder for Every Driver
This tragedy underscores a simple, lifesaving rule: stop for school buses. The laws exist because children cannot outrun a vehicleโand because a single choice behind the wheel can decide whether a child makes it home.
๐๏ธ Their Legacy
As the community grieves, the names Xzavier, Mason, and Alivia echo beyond this morning. Their story is a call for vigilance, patience, and responsibilityโso no other family has to learn, in the cruelest way, how fast everything can be taken away.
