A 78-year-old crossing guard is being hailed a hero after he was hit by a car while protecting students trying to cross the street in San Jose.
“I blow my whistle and the kids step off, so they’re coming maybe five or six feet before they reach me, but before they reach me, that car hit me,” said Bill, adding that the car threw him 10 feet up the street.
Shocking students and his partner, who’s also a crossing guard, and was just up the street when she heard the crash.”I went to go help him and some other kids did too, and I called 911 because he was in a lot of pain,” said Tandon. Bill said he has several stressed ligaments and tendons, but he’d go back and do it all again if he needed to.
“They're my family and I said if someone wants to get to my family they have to go through me first,” he said.“Please, please, slow down in the school zone and if you see that yellow light, stop, even if it means caution, stop,” said Bill.
