Crossing Guard Hit While Protecting Kids | Salt Lake City News

A crossing guard, Kate McLean, was struck by a car while on duty, suffering seven broken bones and being thrown through the air—thankfully with no children injured. A beloved figure to the kids she protects and her fellow guard Lilly Shearer, McLean now faces months of rehab after losing full use of her right arm and legs. The incident underscores the daily risks crossing guards endure, especially at this high-traffic intersection where aggressive driving is growing. McLean pleads for drivers to slow down and stay alert, while her family struggles without her presence, particularly separated from her 13-month-old daughter. With an unknown driver and uncertain legal action ahead, a support page has been launched to help cover medical and living expenses during her long road to recovery.
