LENEXA, Kan. â Nine-year-old Owen Larue is recovering at Children's Mercy Hospital.
When he first arrived almost two months ago, he was fighting for life after a
car hit him at West 79th Street and Pflumm Road in Lenexa.
"And I couldn't believe it was one of my students, much less any other kid," Angela Fritschie, Larue's teacher at Mill Creek Elementary School said.
It was the first time in her twenty years as an educator that Fritschie had to explain why a classmate wouldn't be back for the rest of the year.
