TULSA, Okla. —
Gina Brown is living every parent’s worst nightmare.
“It really hard because I never thought I’d have to do this for my kids.”
Her 12-year-old son, Richard, was on his way to catch the school bus Thursday morning when he stumbled crossing the railroad tracks near the 2000 block of North Xanthus and couldn’t get up.
The McLain Junior High School student was struck by a train and transported to St. John Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
Gina tells KRMG she wants Tulsa Public Schools to relocate the bus stop so children won't be tempted to cross the railroad tracks where her son was killed.
She says the current bus stop at Woodrow Place and North Harvard is too far away from her neighborhood: “I want a bus stop closer to home because my other son has to go to school, and he takes the same route where his brother was killed. Richard loved everybody. He shared with everybody. And I don’t want this to happen to anybody else’s child.”
Initial reports indicate the trains’ engineer did nothing wrong.
