Family thankful after teen survives train collision
Global News
A Kingston family is thanking the community for their support a week after their child was struck by a train.
Last Wednesday, Nora Arndt and her wife, Mary, faced what would be unimaginable for any parent.
One of their children, 14-year-old April Arndt, was struck by a train while on the way home from the Boys and Girls Club at the Frontenac Mall.
“It finishes at eight o’clock and we expect them home around 8:30, and they didn’t show up,” says Nora Arndt.
Concern set in for the parents of four and they left to go see if they could find them.
When they arrived at the train tracks around the corner from the Boys and Girls Club, they saw emergency vehicles, and panic set in.
“I was fearing the worst,” says Arndt. “A big part of me was hoping that it wasn’t my child, but at the same time, the gut feeling was like ‘It’s my child.'”
Quickly they confirmed with police that it was indeed their child, and from there, it was straight to the hospital.
