On October 10, 2018, a junior high student was struck by a car on his way home from school. The accident occurred as he crossed the street, but not in the crosswalk, in the area of First and Kadota. As a precautionary measure, the young man was transported via air ambulance to Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera for medical treatment. Our school resource officers will be following up with our students to talk about traffic safety.
Please take the opportunity to have a discussions with the youngsters in your lives about making sure they cross in the crosswalks whenever possible, and to look both ways before going into the street.
