SU Professor: A solemn thank you to those who helped Trevor Pierce

On my way home from campus early Tuesday evening, I came upon the scene of Trevor Pierce’s tragic accident. The ambulances screamed up Waverly Avenue behind me, so I did not stop. But I will never forget what I saw: a group of students — probably strangers — carrying Trevor to the side of the road and trying to make him comfortable.
To the students who helped Trevor: You were so very brave during a horrific and traumatic situation. You showed care and compassion to another member of our community. You made sure he was not alone at the end of his life.
I share sorrow with Trevor’s family, friends and classmates. May the actions of these kind students help bring them comfort.
