At approximately 8:00 this morning RPPD was dispatched for a collision involving two children walking to school, at Riv Rd & Taylor. This resulted in two fatalities, PGPD is on scene and assuming the investigation.
@RiverdaleParkPD Just last week, I stopped the required distance from a school bus with blinking lights & stop signs extended on each side of the bus, on Riverdale Road a couple of blocks west of Taylor, and watched in despair as other cars sped around & passed the bus, running more stop signs.
@RiverdaleParkPD Drive by it every day. Kids always dashing out, drivers not following laws. Infuriating.
@RiverdaleParkPD I work in Riverdale off kennilworth & traffic in that area is crazy. Where are the crossing guards & police?
@RiverdaleParkPD A lot of people take Riverdale and Taylor rd to avoid traffic on east-west highway. There are always so many cars, while students arrive and leave school. Please put cameras so at least people can drive slower on school zone. I can’t imagine how hurt the families are.
@RiverdaleParkPD Do they not have crossing guards? This is sad 😢
@RiverdaleParkPD 🙏 for their families and school community. Truly heartbreaking.
@RiverdaleParkPD Two kids collided? What a tragedy! Oh, wait, you mean a #Driver killed two kids? Why don't you just say it, then? I'm so sorry for their families and loved ones, and for the lost futures.
@RiverdaleParkPD I pray for the families. This is just so sad 🙏🏾
