While a gaggle of Girl Scouts were selling cookies in Burlingame on Sunday afternoon -- is it that time of year again already? -- a vehicle accidentally struck them and a few other people, according to police. The collision happened on Chapin Avenue after a 58-year-old man was trying parking his car, accidentally stepping on the gas rather than the brake. He wasn't charged with a crime. According to reports, "[f]ive people were taken to a hospital" and "[a]n 8-year-old girl and her mother are in serious condition at Stanford Medical Center with leg injuries." No other injures were reported.

Our prayers go out to the injured kids. If the perpetrator-who-wasn't-charged-with-a-crime had been on a bicycle, the injuries would have been much less serious.
Wow, there was actually a child there? I saw a GS Cookie table at 24th/Castro yesterday with nary a 'scout in sight, just some Mom-lady hawking the overpriced boxes (there, I said it). Fuck those hoes. Leave it to adults to ruin GS Cookies.
wow, now the comment fuckups are mixing in comments from other stories.
that headline's not cool.
When I saw the headline I thought it was going to be a sexy, salacious story -- not such a sad one. =(
@manys -- according to official girl scout rules, you have to be 17 or younger to officially sell Girl Scout cookies. Parents are not allowed to sell them.
This does, however, get pushed a bit. I have a rather hot friend who, the year she turned 18, played up the "I'm legal" bit while she was selling cookies she wasn't supposed to. She sold more cookies than anyone else so they kind of looked the other way. =)
