The northern Indiana woman who plowed her pickup truck into four children, killing three of them, as they crossed a two-lane highway to board their school bus in Oct. 2018 will appeal her sentence, NBC affiliate WNDU reported.

A community in Indiana is in shock after three kids were hit and killed by a car on their way to school, before even getting on the bus Tuesday morning. NBC 5’s Regina Waldroup has the details.

Alyssa Shepherd was sentenced to four years in prison in October.

Six-year-old twin brothers Xzavier and Mason Ingle, and their 9-year-old sister, Alivia Stahl, were killed in the Rochester, Indiana, crash. An 11-year-old boy was severely injured.

The crash led to statewide changes, prompting the Legislature to increase penalties for drivers who illegally pass stopped school buses.
