Investigation Summary
On November 23, 1999, Employee #1 was working as a school crossing guard at an intersection in Henderson, NV. The driver of a 1999 Ford Mustang GT was traveling west on one of the streets leading into the intersection and was attempting to turn left when she experienced a blinding glare from the sun. When she could see again, the traffic light was yellow and she continued with her left turn. At that point the driver said she felt a crash and stopped immediately. Employee #1 suffered a fractured skull and was hospitalized in a comatose state until her death at 1:17 p.m. on January 3, 2000. At the time of the accident, the crossing guard was facing north and was in the crosswalk zone. She was wearing a red jacket/coat, and was holding up an 18 in. diameter red and white STOP sign. The 16-year-old driver had received her license on October 18, 1999. It is believed that she went through a yellow light, cut the left turn lane short, and struck Employee #1, head on, in the center of her vehicle.
