Indiana University Injured In Second Pedestrian Accident In Bloomington

In just one week, Indiana University in Bloomington has seen two serious IN pedestrian accidents. While one student was killed after being struck by a car on campus, another student was injured.

Indiana University Police said that 19-year-old Peter Duong of Terre Haute, Indiana, was killed while crossing a street, Fee Lane, on campus on Wednesday. Later this week, a 21-year-old student was crossing a busy three-lane street when she was thrown onto the hood of a car. The driver of the vehicle said that the sun was in his eyes at the time of the accident. The injured pedestrian suffered scrapes and contusions.

"Any time there's an incident involving a student," IU spokesperson Larry MacIntyre said about the fatal Indiana pedestrian accident, "the administration will conduct a thorough examination of all of the issues to determine if we need to put in place any additional safety measures."

People in Indiana don't seem to realize that pedestrians have the right of way in a crosswalk whether a traffic light is present or not and cars should always proceed cautiously through them.

When I moved to Indiana from California (where pedestrian laws are clearer and more rigidly enforced) I expected traffic to stop when I stepped off of the curb. If it hadn't been for my fiance grabbing me by the shirt and literally yanking me back, I would have been flattened.

How tragic this is becoming. What does it take for cars to SLOW down...we have to stop with school buses...seems pedestrians don't have the right of way anymore...where's the law??? There needs to be speed bumps or law enforcement where there are the most accidents occurring. Please take the time and address these important issues. These are sons, daughters, husbands, wives, family or friends. What if this happened to someone that was close to you???
