Christine Hauser and Kathryn Carlson reported in yesterday’s Times - online editions, in any case, that Rondell Grant, eleven years old, was killed last Saturday by a hit-and-run driver. Brooklyn Boy, 11, Killed by Hit-and-Run Driver. Grant was apparently killed after two cars sped past him - he then stepped into the street and was hit by a third car. This suggests that the three cars may have been travelling - and speeding - together. And that Rondell Grant’s death may have been entirely unnecessary.
Grant lived at 505 East 43rd Street in East Flatbush; he was struck and killed in front of 608 East 42nd Street, between Foster Avenue and Avenue D.
Time, we think, to consider speed bumps.
