Residents in that area feel like that intersection is especially dangerous. "Crossing the intersection I do not feel safe at all," commented on resident. "I remember, just the other day, I was crossing I had the light and a car went right through the light; I almost got hit by the car. It's a very bad intersection over here, very bad." Another neighbor said, "there have been a lot of accidents for quiet a number of years. You have to be very careful." A sixth grader and an eight grader were taken to Lutheran Medical Center with serious injuries.
