Either the Herald version was correct, or the Sun is missing the clearly more important story in which this woman has a teleportation device in her vehicle.


So which is it?

The Herald article states that she had a bus driver go along the route and retrieve the kids, but then later says she drove about .4km to pick up some kids.

As a result, Lindon drove her 2005 Cadillac Escalade to where another bus driver starts his route and asked him to pick up her stops three, four and five, and she would go to her stops one and two to pick up her son, whom she couldn’t reach on his cellphone.
On Monday, Lindon and I drove the route she took.
“There was only one child at this stop,” she says, rattling off the boy’s name as well as the names of the parents of this child. He was shivering in the cold and she invited him into her car. He gratefully jumped in, put on his seatbelt and she headed up the road to Hawkley Crescent, where she picked up two more teens, both of whom she names. They, too, strapped in.
On Hawkwood Drive there were two more teen boys. Both got in her vehicle, though one did not have a seatbelt.
Lindon decided to proceed to her next usual stop — a total of 0.4 km from the previous stop.
Virtually no cars drive by the whole time we are on the road. The roads are still so rutted with ice that it’s impossible — even today and in her SUV — to travel at more than 25 km/hr.
A boy she has long known is standing there. He’s on crutches with no hat, no gloves and just runners on.
“I just couldn’t leave him out there. It wouldn’t be right, so I just made a decision,” she says.
To make room for the injured boy, two of the other boys jumped into the back of her SUV, where there are no seatbelts.
She drove slowly another 0.3 kms to where she would ordinarily pick up her son, Cameron. She parked and a bunch of other kids piled in to warm up to await the school rescue bus’s arrival — which was 15 minutes from the vantage point inside a crowded and warm SUV, but could have felt like an eternity in what Environment Canada confirms was -26 C wind chill.
