[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only is there a stop sign there, the stop signs in that area have lit borders that flash. I don’t think some of you understand that this is a small intersection in a residential area right in front of the school. I cannot fathom how someone would be going fast enough and not see three people in the crosswalk. [/quote] Sounds like the driver was making a left hand turn, and didn't look. Looking at oncoming traffic, but not at the crosswalk to the left.[/quote] What makes sense to me is this scenario: Van driver started to make a left turn (from a stopped position at the start sign) and saw the kids and adult crossing, so attempt to brake. But experienced pedal reversal and accelerated instead. [/quote]
