Eastern was killed on Fourth Street and Buchanan Avenue after being struck by a hit and run driver who later turned himself in. And in 1988, an Eastern student died from injuries she sustained after she was hit by a car while she was attempting to cross Lincoln Avenue on Seventh Street. Later that same year, a Charleston resident was severely injured in a similar accident. She was wedged up against a telephone poll after being hit by the car. It is especially important to take heed in the winter months when fog and ice are common and driving is impaired students crossing streets must take extra caution. But on the other side of that, pedestrians crossing the street are not solely to blame. Drivers need to take extra cau- tion during these times as well. Drivers and pedestrians both need to obey road rules and be aware of their surroundings. It would be naive to think it is possible to eliminate traf- fic accidents altogether, but it is possible to cut down on the number of accidents that occur by simply taking extra cau- tion. At a time when road rage is as common as right turns on red lights, everyone needs to be more patient.
