Family, friends and residents are calling for changes at a Norfolk County crosswalk after a 15-year-old student was struck by a SUV last week and left badly injured.
Friends and family of a student who was hit at Norfolk County crosswalk last week are calling for changes they say are badly needed to improve road safety.
Xander Berry, 15, was struck by an SUV on James Street just steps from his school, Delhi District Secondary.
Local parents say he’s the third child to be hit at the same crosswalk in the past year.
“I just want some sort of protection,” Xander said Friday at a rally calling for additional safety measures.
The tenth grader was on his way to get lunch when he was struck.
“All I remember was seeing a black car, [I] blacked out and woke up in an ambulance,” he said.
Witnesses say Xander was thrown 30 feet. He suffered serious injuries to his face, jaw and knee.
