mate that's not so much a "truck doesn't stop for children in crosswalk" as it is a "driver completely blows a red light and runs into children in crosswalk on their crossing signal"

just a little bit understated

I'm glad they stopped after they hit the kids, but they should have stopped AT THE FUCKING RED LIGHT.

This happens constantly. I picked the search results for kids and crosswalk on the first page, but there were several more with kids not in crosswalks, and adults, some with deaths.

I would say this is illuminating of the problems across society, but as long as your head isn't completely buried into your own rectum, you probably already know and also feel frustrated and helpless.

I hope those kids will be okay.

vehicles are the biggest cause of death for kids, aside from stupidity, there's no reason something like 80% of cars can't be removed from cities.

So many things going wrong here.

#FuckCars doesn't just mean cars specifically

Anyone who deals with kids knows that kids don't always have the awareness to stop for passing cars. A developed adult would, but kids just don't stop.
