Time: Approximately 1:15 p.m.
Incident Location
Street Address / Intersection: E. 3rd St. and S. Woodscrest Drive (Bloomington, IN 47401)
Specific Location Details: The incident occurred at the pedestrian crossing island/triangle on the south side of East 3rd Street, specifically crossing the pedestrian strip leading directly to the BTown Smoke Time corner (2500 E. 3rd St.).
Description of Hazard / Incident
While walking on the south sidewalk, pedestrians had already stepped off of the curb onto the painted lines of the crosswalk when the driver accelerated. Pedestrians had to stop abruptly in the middle of the street while the driver sped directly in front of them, passing mere inches from their bodies at a fast rate of speed. After nearly striking the pedestrians, the driver turned right and headed eastbound on East 3rd Street. This reckless disregard for pedestrian safety and yield signage created a severe and immediate life-safety hazard.
Vehicle Description
