Scooter Accident Sparks Guard Schedule Changes | Las Vegas News

A ten-year-old boy was struck by a car while riding his scooter in a crosswalk on his way to school in Henderson, Nevada — sparking urgent safety concerns. The incident, which occurred at 7:40 AM, has prompted the crossing guard contractor to overhaul shift schedules, aiming for better coverage at key intersections near Twitchell and Vanderburg Elementary by Thursday. Parents are frustrated that guards now start later than before, leaving students vulnerable during morning rush hour — even though the number of guards hasn’t changed. The city, which contracts with the service provider, is now working to overlap guard shifts to ensure continuous protection during both arrivals and dismissals. Families are urged to report ongoing concerns through the school system to help shape future safety improvements.
