Teen Dies in Crash on Her Way to School

An 18-year-old California State University Los Angeles student Beth Amstone died on the scene of a single vehicular crash when she was ejected from her vehicle driven by her boyfriend, Deshawn Johnson, who was taking her to a bus stop to school.

Authorities are yet to rule out speeding as the cause of the accident but it appears that Johnson was not driving under the influence of alcohol when the accident happened.

It is possible that Amstone wasn’t wearing her seatbelt during the crash as she was ejected from her vehicle onto the pavement while her boyfriend only sustained minor injuries.

This tragedy should be a warning to all motorists to always wear their seatbelts whether travelling short or long distances as road accidents can happen to anyone at any given time.

Temporary roundabout for a safer intersection

The recent spate of road related accidents in a San Diego suburb has alarmed not only the authorities but ordinary citizens, as well.

Jennifer Luther who had been pushing for roundabout installation at Pomona and Adella avenues and Seventh Street had been successful in her quest. Last March 1, a temporary roundabout was installed at the intersection where the three roads meet.

The intersection is regularly used by students in going to school and by motorists coming from San Diego. Seeing the danger it brings to school children, residents made persistent requests to city officials to address this threat.

The authorities acted on the request and began working on improvements on the traffic situation. The city officials considered five options before considering roundabout installation as the best solution.

The roundabout is aimed at slowing down traffic in the area. Consequently, vehicles need not stop or make left turns. By installing a roundabout, residents hope for a reduced number of accidents.

The roundabout has been temporarily installed for a period of 6 months. At this trial period, traffic levels will be monitored and free and safe movements of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians will also be checked.

For Luther who lives near the intersection, she hopes that car mishaps and pedestrian accidents would be minimized. Luther’s effort is just one instance on how community members can help in making the roads safer for everybody especially for children.
