CHEYENNE (WNE) — Laramie County School District 1 Superintendent Margaret Crespo announced Tuesday the district is working with law enforcement and city officials to address pedestrian safety concerns after the death of one student and the injury of two others in recent days.

“We are listening, and we are forwarding this information to these entities with the goal of preventing future tragedy,” Crespo said Tuesday in a letter to parents.

The three students were involved in two separate incidents, both of which involved vehicles striking them while they were attempting to cross at crosswalks. The accidents took place just days apart from one another.

Makaili James Evans, 13, was killed Friday morning when he attempted to cross Western Hills Boulevard at the crosswalk near McCormick Junior High, according to a preliminary investigation by the Cheyenne Police Department.

And on Monday morning, another 13-year-old male and a 15-year-old male were both struck while trying to cross Pershing Boulevard at a crosswalk at the intersection with Windmill Road near East High School. The police department reported the victims suffered minor injuries, and were transported to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center out of an abundance of caution.

Local police report that 238 traffic incidents have occurred in the area of East High School this year alone. Of those incidents, 50 occurred at the intersection where the two students were struck and injured.

Crespo said she anticipates the Cheyenne Traffic Safety Committee will conduct a safety audit of pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle traffic at each of the schools in the district.
