Although a relatively minor occurrence, Spencer says the district made every effort to be vigilant and responsive: "We sent out a message to the parents of the district just to over-communicate."

According to Asst. Chief Erik Hampton of East Wenatchee PD, the driver of the vehicle sustained light injuries, as did their passenger, but they declined transport.
