Last Monday, eight year old Alex Casillas and his father were hit by a car that ran a red light at Story Road and Adrian Way. The child is in critical condition at Valley Medical Center. Tuesday night, KTVU reporter Lloyd LaCuesta did a story on the hit and run incident. Channel 2’s website provided viewers with the address for a bank account that has been set up to assist the Casillas Family. Here’s the info:
FUND FOR ALEJANDRO CASILLAS

Time to start using technology like red light running video to change behavior of drivers.

Well they arrested a suspect. Wonder of wonders, he didn’t have a drivers license. He probably had no insurance, either.
There is now a hue and cry for more crossing guards. Sounds good in principle. But does anyone think a crossing guard is likely to be more vigilant than a father when crossing the street with his son?
