Cross walks are painted lines on the road, not force fields. Â In these two recent incidents, runners were hit in or near the cross walks:
Tragically, a mother pushing her jogger was killed when an alleged DUI driver ran a stop sign and struck her. http://www.thealmanac.net/ALM/Story/06-30-2010-ML-jogger-hit.
In the second story, a teen runner was seriously injured when she stepped out of the cross walk into the path of an oncoming vehicle. http://www.vcstar.com/news/2010/jun/29/simi-teen-seriously-injured-after-being-struck/.
Even when in a cross walk, we have to take safety into our own hands because the vehicles ALWAYS win. Check both directions, like your mother taught you, and keep paying attention, until your are safely on the other side.
