Crossing Guard Struck and Killed in Front of Middle School in Louisville, Kentucky

At about seven this morning a crossing guard was struck and killed in the Jeffersontown area east of Louisville. The accident happened in front of Carrithers Middle School which is located on Billtown Road in Jeffersontown.  Apparently a truck traveling east on Billtown Road struck the crossing guard causing her death.  The speed limit is 35 miles per hour but it is not known if the flashing lights that indicate a school crossing had been turned on at the time of the accident.

As I have said many many times when you get behind the wheel of a car it is your responsibility to be aware of your surroundings.  Know what the speed limit is and obey it. If you are in a high pedestrian traffic area please slow down.  If you are driving near a school be extra cautious, there may children around that might not see you.  Slow down and be aware.
