The intersection is the first one drivers hit after the highway enters the city, and motorists “rarely” slow to the 50 km/h limit, said another crossing guard.
A crossing guard was taken to hospital with serious injuries after she was hit by a truck after helping children cross the street last week in the south end of Nanaimo.
The driver, who remained at the scene, told police he had stopped for a red light and saw the crossing guard, but when the light turned green, he was distracted by a person on the corner, O’Brien said.O’Brien said the area is a busy one. Diane Caldwell-Demmon, who serves as the morning crossing guard in the area, said her reaction was “horror but not surprise” when she learned of the collision.
This week, the Sooke School District called on drivers to be more aware of students walking near PEXSISEN and adjacent Centre Mountain Lellum Middle School in Langford after three “near misses” in recent weeks.
