What is wrong with Huntsville Drivers
Fortunately no one died in this accident but it shows that none of us are safe.
A little girl was hospitalized Friday afternoon after witnesses say she was struck by a minivan.
The accident occurred at the intersection of Triana boulevard and village drive southwest just before three this afternoon. A witness told WAFF 48 News that a crossing guard had her hands in the air, instructing traffic to stop, but the minivan continued through the intersection.
The van was able to stop before seriously injuring the girl, who was attempting to cross Triana Boulevard.
Huntsville police officers directed traffic for a short while after the accident. A HEMSI crew transported the girl to the hospital as a precaution, but she is expected to be fine.

this is why we need more DRIVER awareness education. it is awful that a child can't cross a street safely. it goes to show that even under what we assume would be the safest situation - a uniformed crossing guard directing traffic, come on- inattentive drivers are a serious hazard in this city. hopefully some of that BASC funding will be directed toward driver's being engaged while driving, focusing on what they're doing, and not trying to multi-task their way down every road. One woman spoke last week at city council about the danger and difficulty of trying to cross with her walker from her neighborhood near university drive...what hope does she have of crossing safely when even a crossing guard has trouble flagging down a distracted driver?
this is very upsetting. perhaps the driver of the minivan should do some community service as a crossing guard and see what it's from the pedestrians' point of view when driver's speed through.
The person that hit me while I was riding my bike a few years ago didn't swerve, slow down, or stop. The person was never caught.
I've caused wrecks before when I drove. It wasn't due to inattention, it was just because I suck. So it's good that I don't drive anymore. But I never did anything like that. Geez.
We are all so happy you do not drive a car clint.
