…but so did the other guys.
In the past 3 months, I have seen an alarmingly increase in the number of accidents at the 107th and 16th street intersection that separates my house from campus. while I have yet to witness one, I have had my fair share of witnessing fatal crashes.
What is alarming is that there have been at least 3 or 4 crashes involving FIU students, and yet I have not heard anything from the FIU administration about possibly endorsing some kind of educational effort to remind students, staff and faculty that “beating the light isnt worth a life”.
Today, I saw probably what seemed to be the worst one of all as one of the cars was actually flipped upside down. How long can this go on until the administration of the school and the authorities see that there is a serious problem at this intersection.
All I am saying is that this is too much!!! I think at this point, the student body, faculty and staff should be reminded of the fatalities linked to crashes. I have yet to hear of a student losing their lives at that specific intersection (although an international student did pass away over the summer in a car accident), but should we really wait until a life is taken to act??
