Police believe the teacher lost control of the motorcycle and slid under the truck. The truck driver was parked on the side of the road when emergency responders arrived. The 33 year old truck driver is being questioned and police will check the surveillance camera footage in the area.

The teacher would drive the girl to school every morning, the student’s sister says. The family is shock about the accident, she says.
