11 year old killed by drunk driver at school

Donation protected
Terra Star Jackson was a vibrant young sixth grader at Grange Middle School in Fairfield. Her family gave the nickname "Kissy" because of how sweet she was. But on Sunday, Terra's family was heartbroken after deciding to take the 11-year-old off life support. She never regained consciousness after being struck in a crosswalk outside school three days earlier.

Jackson had dropped her daughter and her twin brother off at 8 a.m. Thursday at the school. She said Terra crossed the street to talk with some friends, and while she was in the crosswalk, she was struck. Shortly after the collision, she got a call from police about what happened and rushed to the hospital. "It didn’t look like her at all. She was all swollen. And I’m like how could this have happened? How could this have happened?" Jackson said. Officers arrested 32-year-old Elena McGraw-Ogans on suspicion of driving a vehicle while impaired and child endangerment because there were children in her vehicle 

Jackson said Terra wanted to be a doctor, so she could help people’s hearts. The family decided to donate Terra's organs so her heart can help another child live. "That's what she would have wanted,"
