WICHITA PEDESTRIANS STRUCK BY A TRUCK

Two pedestrians were struck by a truck on Sunday, in Kansas. They are only known to have suffered minimal injury. Nonetheless it is very possible that this accident could have been avoided. Here a few quick tips for avoiding a similar incident:

1. Cross in designated areas, where possible. Obey traffic signals and stay in crosswalks. Crossing the street at the end of a curb helps too.
2. Look. Then look again. Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross. 
3. Put away distractions, such as phones, cameras, etc...when crossing the street.
4. Make eye contact with drivers of cars before crossing and don't run across the street.
5. Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible.  Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest street crossings.
6. Watch for cars that are turning or backing up.
