As I drove down the street a little boy about five years old crossed on his bicycle directly in front of me. I managed to stop only about seven feet from him! Moms and Dads, please remind your children with bikes to stop and look before crossing the street on them. And students at Bryce Valley High School, please slow down as you travel east toward the highway on Center or Bryce Way. If I had been traveling as fast as some of you do, I would have struck that child. |
