Calls for new pedestrian crossing in Mornington Rd

A 12-year-old girl was hit by a car just metres from a spot the community has campaigned to have a pedestrian crossing placed at.

The accident on Mornington Rd last week has led to a renewed push for safety measures by her parents and the principal of the local school.

Paige Kuriger was blinded by sunstrike and could not see a car driving on the opposite side of the road.
