Last week, a friend of mine got hit by a car. Now, in all fairness, the car barely bumped into her, only hit her hard enough to throw her balance a bit awry. The driver had made a right turn on red from Routh Street onto the feeder for Woodall Rodgers Freeway, and he simply didn't look. Had he, he would have seen a mass of both students and teachers trying desperately to cross the feeder. I am a student at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. Every day, I drive in a carpool from Denton County because I really believe this nationally acclaimed school to be worth it. But it is a school without a school zone.
On Sept. 29, 2009, Kelsey McKinney met with city and school officials outside her school during the morning commute.
