A young girl from Cardinal Newman College was knocked down by a bus on Queen Street yesterday....Bless she's only 16 years of age.
Thursday's are a nightmare round that area. it seems that on a Thursday all the students seem to leave at the same time. That part of Queen Street is a nightmare when students are coming out of the college. I only said the other week that somebody was going to get knocked down if they aren't careful...don't get me wrong because I don't know what's happened yet and nobody deserves to lose their life, but when the students are crossing the road they will cross when the red man is on and they will just continue to cross and cross no matter how much the traffic is backing up due to them crossing...they laugh and snigger as if to say they own the road and have right of way. They don't abide by the little red and green men when they are all together.
It's very sad that a young girl has died and I only hope that the bus driver hasn't carried on driving through being annoyed at the students because he will never be able to forgive himself...I have seen other drivers drive through them or very close to them on numerous occasions. He's said to be extremely shaken and distraught. I just leave the students to it until they've all crossed over and then drive but even my friend, at times, has started to drive when the lights have changed to give her right of way.
