News of the crash saddened, but did not shock students who are familiar with traffic in the area. 

"There’s always cars coming in and out of here because there’s stuff behind there and half the time people just come through here without knowing," student Nick Sowers said.

Police briefly shutdown the roadway during the noontime hours to investigate the deadly crash.

"You can’t expect anybody to be looking out for you. You’ve got to look out for yourself when you walk around here," student Nolan Reap said.
