Members of the community are demanding action after 6-year-old Sevion Sanford was struck and killed in a hit-and-run crash early Thursday. He is one of at least five children killed by drivers in Central Indiana since August 2021.
INDIANAPOLIS — It only takes Robi McKay two minutes to drive from his home to the bus stop at East 21st Street and Post Road.McKay is one of many who live in the area who are now calling for change after the crash.A similar tragedy struck in September 2021. Then, 7-year-old Hannah Crutchfield died after being hit by two drivers at East Washington Street and South Ritter Avenue.
Larrison agrees that the problem lies with drivers speeding and not paying attention, and that’s a problem that extends beyond 21st and Post. Larrison expects the council to take actions that will calm the traffic flow and reduce dangerous driving. But it will take time, and the council isn’t all-powerful. Drivers have to choose to slow down and keep their eyes on the road.
