Daycare 'in state of shock' following crash
The daycare said it is "in a state of shock" following the crash, in a statement Thursday.
"We are devastated and still processing what happened, but our foremost and only priority is supporting our families and staff members."
The daycare thanked emergency personnel who helped in the aftermath of the crash and thanked the public for its support and sympathy. It asked for privacy for its community in "this unimaginably difficult time."
