Two teens injured in seperate car vs. pedestrian accidents

The Livermore Police Department is reminding parents to go over traffic safety with their children following two separate accidents today, both involving young teenagers apparently darting into traffic.

The first accident occurred around 1:45 this afternoon near Mendenhall Middle School. Police say a 13-year-old boy was struck by a minivan after stepping into traffic near the intersection of Ontario Drive and Padro Drive. He suffered minor injuries and was taken by his parents to seek medical aid.

Just 15 minutes later and a couple of miles away, a second teen boy was struck near Livermore High School at Fourth Street and Wood Street. After stepping off the curb, the 14-year-old made it across the two eastbound lanes of Fourth Street before being hit by a Honda in the left-hand westbound lane. He was taken by ambulance to Eden Trauma Center in Castro Valley and was found to have a broken leg.

In light of the accidents, LPD is reminding Livermore residents that Pedestrians should always try to use crosswalks to cross roadways and be vigilant of all vehicles on the roadway.

Livermore Police are also reminding motorists to be on high alert around schools, especially during this back-to school season.

  9. Aside from the cameras and other warning signs, the people crossing on the street should take extra cautions. The driver on the other hand must also take more cautions when driving. He has a liability to the child whatever the cause of the accident. Let's admit it, drivers are always convicted with crimes and punishments.

  10. Accidents happen only if you are not taking extra care while driving. It is important to read signs. As what the famous warning sign says, Stop, Look and Listen. This will prevent extreme accidents and dreadful situations.

  21. A friend of mine who works as an motorcycle crash lawyer in los angeles never fails to remind me to educate my kids and remind them of the accidents that could happen if they don’t take precautionary measures in crossing the streets and I’m proud to say that none of my family members ever got involved into an accident.
