People driving hella stupid and fast not paying attention while they're driving in a school zone. There's no excuse even if alcohol and drugs weren't a factor, if you're keeping your eyes out for kids while you're by a school then you won't hit a child. Poor baby and his poor family RIP. I have a 5 year old I couldn't imagine. Pay the fuck attention people.
