"This road is just a -- it's a death sentence when you try to cross it," said Nita Roberts, a cashier at the local BP gas station. "I get nervous every time I see these kids crossing the road."
Ari Fleming said she's noticed plenty of accidents at this intersection because of "speeding and running the red lights."
