Description:On Wednesday, April 27, 2016, a 69-year-old male custodian (victim) was preparing to assist with after-school traffic control duties at a rural high school. He crossed the street to reach his cross-guard positioning where he was to perform cross-guard duties, then abruptly backtracked and stepped into the path of an oncoming pickup truck. The truck bumped him causing him to fall backwards, and strike his head. The victim later died after transport to a trauma center. Recommendations for prevention: 1. Schools should provide a walkable campus by installing sidewalks, crosswalks, stop signs, and other safety features in areas where pedestrians might be exposed to traffic. 2. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet should develop uniform school crossing guard training guidelines and requirements. 3. Schools should implement initial and annual crossing guard refresher safety training, including working in and around parking lots and crossing areas. 4. Schools should establish and implement pedestrian safety policies to be adhered to by all faculty, staff, and students in school parking lots and roadways.
