I am also thankful that this young man is okay and only suffered minor injuries.

I was sitting in a car in the parking lot of a near by business in this particular area last week and had noticed that there is a LOT of foot traffic, maybe because it’s near the bus depot? I remember thinking to myself that they need to build one of those overhead crossings for people to navigate back and forth between the restaurants and the shopping center there. Just a suggestion…but I would like to urge the “powers that be” to sit and observe this area and see what I’m talking about. The city officials need to make certain areas in cities that have a good amount of foot traffic, more people friendly and maybe accidents like these can be avoided.

Sorry, I did read the story wrong, I mistook where the boy lived for where the accident happened. I pray for the boys speedy recovery wherever it happened.

18 year old is fine, probably feels stupid but just has some minor injuries. Thank goodness.

If you actually read the story and paid attention, it clearly states that he crossed the road at Whataburger on Fairfield Dr near Pace Blvd in Pensacola.

Well… a friend of mine was struck by an Explorer while he was IN a crosswalk in broad daylight. The person who hit him “didn’t see him”.

So it goes both ways. Dumb moves – darting into traffic, distracted drivers.
