中半岛贝蒙（Belmont）一所初中校园外，昨午发生汽车撞人意外，一名70岁华裔老翁Mauro Yan（音译严茂洛）驾驶的运动型多功能车SUV，失控冲上行人道，撞上正在等候公车回家的一批学生，共有13名中学生在意外中受伤，被送往附近多所医院，幸运的是所有伤患均无生命威胁。肇事司机也怀疑受惊过度而需入院。
意外现场为贝蒙2675 Ralston Avenue 的Ralston罗斯敦初中，昨日午间12点半左右，一辆2004年款本田Pilot SUV在靠近学校停车场时，突然加速冲过路沿，腾空撞上行人道，撞倒多名当时正在等候公车回家的学生，直冲至一棵大树才停下。
当时起码有四名学生被?入车底，学校教职员和在现场的家长齐心协力，动用千斤顶将车子顶起，一一把学生从车底拉出。根据统计，在13名送院的学生中，起码有5至7人直接被车撞到受伤，其他则是在躲避过程中受伤或者受惊过度而需要入院，当局出动直升机将学生分别送往三藩市总医院、史丹福医院、卡斯楚谷的Eden医院以及红木城的凯撒医院等。直至昨晚截稿时间为止，所有学生均无生命危险，受伤较重的学生分别是肝脏和头部受创以及失血较多。
肇事司机严氏的妻子向媒体透露，丈夫当时是前往学校接孙子放学，不料煞车突然失灵。也有怀疑说严氏可能是误将油门当煞车而导致此宗意外。根据车管局纪录，严氏驾驶纪录良好。贝蒙警方表示当局并无理由相信此事乃故意行为，直到调查完成前，不会对严氏提出控罪。
罗斯敦初中有6至8年级学生约800人，昨日因为大部分学生参加标?考试而比平常提早放学，因此有学生在午间即?备离开校园回家。校方宣布今日将正常上课，但取消原定的考试环节，安排辅导员和心理学家为学生以及教职员提供辅导。
SUV plows into students outside Northern California middle school

BELMONT, Calif. (AP) - A sport utility vehicle jumped a curb and plowed into a group of middle school students waiting for a bus, authorities said.Three teenagers were in intensive care Thursday.
About half a dozen children were hit, including several who were trapped under the SUV when it struck a tree outside Ralston Middle School on Wednesday, Police Lt. Dan DeSmidt said. Parents and staff used a jack and collective muscle to lift the SUV and rescue the trapped children, he said.
Fire Chief Doug Fry said 13 children and the SUV's driver were taken to hospitals. Seven went to trauma centers with problems ranging from broken bones to internal injuries, he said.
Other students were injured or shaken up as they tried to escape the oncoming car, DeSmidt said.
The crash occurred around 12:30 p.m. as school was letting out early for the day because of standardized testing, Principal Maggie O'Reilly said.
Witnesses said the 2004 Honda Pilot was in the parking lot of Ralston Middle School when it hit the students and came to rest outside the gymnasium.
"All I can say is for some unknown reason the SUV lost control," Fry said.
The driver was at the school in Belmont, about 25 miles south of San Francisco, to pick up a student, although DeSmidt said he did not know his relationship to the youngster.
The Honda was registered to Mauro H. Yan and Lorenza Y. Yan, of Redwood Shores, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
A woman who identified herself as Mauro Yan's wife but would not give her name told the San Francisco Chronicle her 70-year-old husband was driving, and that he thought the SUV's brakes had failed.
At the scene, investigators combed through debris, including the SUV's front grill and discarded sneakers and backpacks. They noted the absence of skid marks that would have indicated the driver tried to stop, but said it was too soon to draw conclusions about what that meant.
"It certainly all falls into the investigation, but at this point we have no cause to believe it was an intentional act," DeSmidt said.
Head custodian and track coach Andre Edwards said a student he pulled from under the SUV was bleeding but conscious.
"You don't think. You just react," Edwards said.
Four 14-year-old boys spent the night at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, hospital spokesman Todd Kleinheinz said Thursday morning.
One had a lacerated liver and a broken ankle, another required 30 stitches to close lacerations on his head and leg, a third boy fractured his pelvis and the fourth had a head injury, he said.
Three of the four were in intensive care and in serious condition, he said. The fourth boy was held overnight for observation of his head injuries.
Several other hospitals reported receiving patients involved in the crash; some had been treated and released by late afternoon.
Counselors and psychologists from neighboring schools have volunteered to help provide support for youngsters returning to school Thursday, many of whom witnessed the crash or its aftermath, said Dr. Emerita Orta-Camilleri, superintendent of the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District.
"It happened right as school let out so I'm sure a lot of students saw what happened," said Lawrence Chu, office manager at Fellowship Bible Church, which is near the school.
