Yesterday, a devastating accident took place at the Macedon Ranges Montessori Pre-School in Riddells Creek, just north of Melbourne. A water tanker crashed into the kindergarten, tragically taking the life of a beloved mother, Eleanor Bryant. Her family is now grappling with the immense loss, as her passing has left an enormous hole in their hearts.
Eleanor's bravery and selflessness in the face of danger is being remembered and honored by her family and the community. She heroically pushed children out of harm's way as the oncoming truck plowed into the school. Her family released a statement expressing their grief and devastation, while also thanking the emergency services and the public for their support during this difficult time.
Eleanor's family described her as a beautiful person who was the light of their lives. She was a cherished mother, wife, daughter, and sister who was adored by her family and a large network of friends. Her infectious smile, sense of humor, and passion for life made her a joy to be around. The loss of such a kind and loving person has left an enormous void in their hearts.
The accident, which occurred at around 2:20 pm, also injured a three-year-old boy who was taken to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the truck, a 68-year-old man, also sustained injuries and was taken to the hospital. It is believed that he suffered a medical episode while driving, causing the truck to veer off the road and crash into the playground.
The community, which is still reeling from the tragedy, has come together to remember Eleanor and pay their respects. Parents and family members have visited the kindergarten, leaving flowers and cards as a tribute to the beloved worker. A close-knit community, they have previously weathered hardships like the bushfires together and will continue to support each other during this difficult time.
Eleanor's family friend, Walter Lucas, fought back tears as he spoke about her heroic actions. He described her as a superhero who selflessly sacrificed her own life for the safety of others. Another community member, Clinton Zammit, also expressed his sorrow for the loss and called Eleanor an unsung hero.
The police and emergency services have also offered their condolences to the family and the community, with the Riddells Creek Police Station opening its doors for anyone seeking support or a listening ear. The Riddells Creek Junior Football & Netball Club also shared a heartfelt tribute to Eleanor, remembering her as a shining light in their world.
This tragic incident has left the community in shock and mourning. It comes just two weeks after another accident at a school in inner Melbourne, which claimed the life of a young student. But even in the midst of such heartbreak, the community has banded together to support each other and remember the life of a beloved woman who will forever be remembered as a hero.
