How about bodily injuries with a motor vehicle?
And there was no crossing guard there this morning and a cop showed up eventually.
This is a very dangerous area for these kids to cross and need more then one crossing guard

Why are the kids walking to school at 6:45AM…???? It’s barely light out…we really need to rethink this daylight saving thing…
