Bellevue woman, 43, killed in Pa. traffic accident

A 43-year-old Bellevue woman was struck and killed by a state dump truck Tuesday in Perry County, Pennsylvania, according to CBS 21 News, a network TV affiliate in Harrisburg, Pa.

Hui Satorius was riding in a 2001 Crown Victoria driven by her husband, Dale Satorius , when the driver of the dump truck made a U-turn and struck the car, the station reported, citing Pennsylvania state police. The accident occurred about 11 a.m. in the 3000 block of the Susquehanna Trail, a state highway in Duncannon, Pa.

In the back seat were two children, a 7-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl. The girl was critically injured and was flown to Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pa., CBS 21 reported. The boy was not injured. The driver of the car suffered minor injuries, the TV station reported. All passengers were wearing seat belts.

The driver and a passenger of the dump truck were not injured. The crash is under investigation.

Perry County mother charged with unlawfully entering school bus to ...

If Tara Keener had known that her 5-year-old son was only sleeping, she might not have acted this way.
    
But Keener, an emergency room nurse, didn’t know. All she knew was what she could see through the windows of a big yellow school bus as she walked down her Perry County driveway. Other kids were standing over the kindergartner’s assigned seat, yelling that Xander was slumped over.
    
“Help, he’s not moving,” she recalled during a recent court hearing. “We can’t wake him up.”
    
So she ran to the bus, up the steps and to the landing. The driver told her she couldn’t get on the bus. It’s against the law.
    
Keener kept going. “My focus was on my son,” she told a judge.
    
What happened on that bus Dec. 15 has earned Keener a misdemeanor charge of unlawfully entering a school bus. She’s now awaiting trial in Perry County Court.
    
The bus company remembers the story a little differently, and reported the incident — as they are required by law — to the state police because the driver asked Keener to leave the bus and she refused.
    
They say no one was screaming ‘help,’ that Xander was sleeping, like he had before and the driver wasn’t given enough time to handle the situation herself.
    
“Everyone’s focused on, he wasn’t really sick,” said Keener’s attorney Jeffrey B. Engle. “How do you know that? He could be choking on a Jolly Rancher. I can hop a fence to save someone who is drowning, even if it says ‘Keep Out’ if the harm sought to be avoided is greater than the possible violation of the crime.”
    
Engle would not allow Keener to comment for this story because of her pending court case.
    
At a June 15 preliminary hearing, Keener testified that older kids were hovering over Xander when she got on the bus.
    
“They moved away and looked at me like they were scared and said they couldn’t wake him,” she testified. “I had to physically shake him vigorously to wake him.”
    
Keener never thought this would land her in court, Engle says.
