An eighth grade student was hit by a car in Irondequoit on Tuesday. The student was walking to school and was struck by a car at the intersection of Titus Avenue and Gardham Road. The student was walking outside of a school zone, so no crossing guards were on duty. Irondequoit central school district superintendent Jeff Crane says, drivers have been more cautious since the death of freshman Michael Lynch who was hit by a car early in the year. Crane also said the district is considering putting crossing guards at that intersection.
