11, year old boy dies saving sister in hit- and-run at bus stop

A brave 11-year-old boy died after he pushed his little
sister out of the way of an out-of-control car as the two
siblings were waiting for their school bus, his family
said Wednesday.
Little La'Darious Wylie sacrificed his short life last week,
shoving his 7-year-old sister, Sha'Vonta, to safety as a
hit-and-run driver barreled into his tiny body at a South
Carolina bus stop, the children's mother told The Herald.
"He knew to look out for her," devastated mom Elizabeth
McCrorey said.
The fifth grader was struck on the corner of his family's
home last Tuesday morning and died from his injuries
the next day.
He was remembered as a hero as he was laid to rest
Thursday.
"He saved his sister, and he ended up being the
one that's where he is now," aunt Felicia Mobley
said.
The youngsters were waiting to go to school when police
say 57-year-old driver Michelle Johnson veered into
them and then fled without calling for help.
Johnson was arrested Thursday and charged with hit
and run resulting in death, according to The Herald. She
was released on a $25,000 bond and has no criminal
record.
La'Darious's organs were also donated to save another
child, his family said.
The little boy who was a good student and loved playing
football "had his whole life ahead of him," loved ones
wrote in a GoFundMe page started to help the family pay
for funeral costs.
"He fought a great fight, but God had a greater
plan," says the fundraising page, which has
collected nearly $21,000 in a week. “He gained
his wings and flew away to be with the lord."
Family and friends left reeling by the tragedy are now
trying to keep his legacy alive by getting the boy's
favorite playground named after him.
"Coping with it day by day, so we can't really say
what's going to lie ahead," Mobley told WBTV .
"We just have to deal with it day by day."
