SALT LAKE CITY — Two children were injured Friday morning when a truck hit them while they were crossing the street in a crosswalk with a crossing guard.
A driver reported that two children were hit in the area and the fire department responded, rendering aid for non-life-threatening injuries. The driver was initially traveling eastbound on 1700 South and was turning northbound onto 700 East when the crash happened.“I’m devastated,” said Taylor Anderson with Sweet Streets Salt Lake City. “I’m not surprised. I’m thankful that the kids are hopefully going to be okay.”“It’s really dangerous. There’s a lot of crashes all the time,” said Michaela Riding, who has lived across the intersection for about two years and said she has watched tragedies unfold.
“I’ve written a letter to the city, but they said it’s not their responsibility because it’s managed by the state, so I’m still figuring out who to reach out to about that,” explained Riding.“We want to see meaningful changes, especially near schools,” he said. “We’re talking about our most vulnerable population in the city — kids doing everything we tell them they should be doing, and they still get hit by a car. It’s long past time for the city to make changes.
