Dangerous driving near Lakeside school leads to safety proposal

A terrifying scene that unfolded during a school drop-off in August near a Lakeside school has lead to a safety proposal from a school board member.

On the morning of Aug. 20, with parents lined-up in cars and children filling the sidewalk toward Tierra del Sol Middle School, a Dodge Durango hopped the curb on Petite Lane and drove onto the sidewalk, nearly hitting students.

The car drove on the sidewalk towards the school, then just a few minutes later, back on the sidewalk, away from the school. The car nearly hit a boy on a bicycle, clipped a Ford Explorer, made a dangerous right turn on Julian Avenue and sped off.

Numerous parents captured video of the incident on their phones and dashboard cameras.
