Crossing Guard Hit, Injured at Virginia Beach School
Posted on Oct 28, 2010
School zones are clearly marked. Their lower speed limits and the presence of "School Crossing" signs keep most drivers focused and children safe. However, at Catholic High School, one drivers disregard for safety in a school zone seriously injured a crossing guard.
A female Deputy Sherriff was working as a crossing guard for Catholic High School in Virginia Beach, Va. when she was struck from behind. When the accident occurred in the 4500 block of Princess Anne Road, the crossing guard was in full traffic directing gear, which includes bright colored clothing with reflective strips.
An elderly man, 87 year old James Holloway of Virginia Beach, drove his car up behind her, hitting her from behind. The impact of the accident forced the officer onto the car's hood. She then fell to the ground. Reports indicate that she was taken to the hospital with intense pain and possible broken bones. Her injuries were not believed to be life threatening.
Holloway has been charged with disregarding a crossing guard.
The staff and attorneys at Tavss Fletcher hope that the officer is well on her way to making a quick and full recovery.
