Outside Class on 9/23

Towards the end of class I recall hearing a large magnitude of different wails and cries echoing their way through the windows. My curiosity was sparked, however classwork kept my head somewhere else. It was not until after rugby practice that my roommate informed me a WCSU student was hit by a car that night.

An article today describes the situation and stability of the victim. Apparently the 59 year old Waterbury resident was crossing the road when a fellow student, 17, failed to stop at the crosswalk, striking the pedestrian heavily enough to ricochet her off the windshield. Thankfully the woman is now in, "Fair condition," as The News Times quotes a Danbury Hospital representative.

The campus seems to be getting rather crowded, with more students this year arriving than ever before. Overpopulation on campus can result to more accidents like these and other possible conflicts. Traffic has increased a fair amount around school making parking andeven getting to a parking garage a much more difficult practice. Granted I am not aware of the amount or persons allowed or even if there are such regulations, but it definitely deserves some more looking into.
