INDIANAPOLIS — Staff at a northside high school want to see safety changes at a nearby interchange after a student was luckily able to walk away after being hit by a car the careened onto the sidewalk.
As students were leaving Believe Circle City High School Tuesday afternoon, a green Mustang trying to turn on Capitol Ave from 26th St. collided with a truck going down south on Capitol Ave. James Washington, a teacher at the school, saw the whole thing and was nearly hit himself.
”The Mustang and the truck came at me and the student. I ran this way and the student ran this way,” Washington said, pointing in opposite directions.
