Construction Completed at Dangerous Intersection

May 31, 2012 | Car Accident

Safety improvements are slated to complete today at a dangerous North Las Vegas intersection that took the life of a young girl last October.

For the past several months, the mother of 6 year old Mia Decker has been calling for improvements to be made at the intersection of Bent Arrow Driver and Camino Eldorado, the plac where her daughter was hit by a passing car while walking home from school.

The accident took place on October 21st as a car failed to notice Mia or her two friends, Rain and Alyssa Mowery, crossing through the crosswalk. The car struck all three young girls, killing Mia, and seriously injuring the other two.

To this point, Rain has made a full recovery from her injuries, but Alyssa is still struggling to return to normalcy, having had to relearn how to perform basic functions and been enrolled in special schooling.

Thursday marks the final day of construction at the intersection, which now features flashing lights to better alert drivers that pedestrians are in the crosswalk.

The area has long been a point of contention for residents in the area. “It’s really good to know the city and community came together for this. That accident was heart breaking. It touched everyone. Unfortunately, it had to come to that, to get changes made. But now, all the kids in this area are safer, because so many of them use that crosswalk,” says Tiffany Holmes, a mother of two and a resident in the area.

Mia’s mother, who raised money and awareness for the intersection improvements, and her daughter are set to move to Washington, D.C. within the next few weeks, where they look to continue the fight against dangerous intersections in the hopes of preventing further accidents like this.
