Townson: May 21 2026 Speeding Car Blew Through Crossover Stop Line Guards Stop Sign With Kid On Curb

Dashcam is facing north, right is east. Crossing guard puts her stop sign up, heads on to the road, gets into the middle of the road while making sure the westbound cars are stopping, and when she looked back at the eastbound cars, she saw a speeding sedan had blown through the crossover stop line, and was almost already at the crosswalk. She screamed STOP STOP while waving and advancing on the car as she knew the kid was RIGHT THERE. Her heart sank as she knew the kid was way too close to being hit and at that speed, possible killed. Thank goodness the sedan slammed on it breaks hard and had only gone half way into the crosswalk, and that the young kid saw the sedan not slowing down and remained on the curb likes shes taught him/others "Never trust a car! Even with me here as they don't stop.". The guard said she was freaking out so bad in her head that she just wanted to scoop the kid up for a big momma bear hug, but thats not allowed. SLOW DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION!!!

Dashcam faces south, right is west. School bus blows through the road stop sign. Crossing guards puts her stop sign up and enters the road. The dark SUV behind the school bus also blows through the road stop sign AND blows through the crossing guards stop sign with children at the curb. The guard yells STOP STOP but the dark SUV ignores her. Once the children are off the road, she does her checks and heads back to the sidewalk, and that's when two more SUVs blow through her stop sign.

This bus has been an issue for a while, but she rarely crosses kids in front of it so she forgets about it being an issue until it happens again. We have another video that hasn't been edited yet of this bus blowing through that same stop sign a week or so ago (sooo behind in editing videos). She's positive her friends kids are on that bus, so she contacted their parent this morning to confirm that is their bus, as she can't see its route # and that's what the school needs (+ the videos) to send in complaints for her. The parent will talk to their kids to help figure this out with her.

Dashcam is facing north, right is east. A-Plus traveling north ran the road stop sign on Townson. He kept driving until the crossing guard put her hand up and yelled STOP at him as children were at the curb in his path! He obeyed, the children and a pedestrian with a dog crossed. Once they were off the road, the guard did her checks and started heading back to the sidewalk, when the A-Plus driver started advancing on her while she was still on the road. The A-Plus driver rolled down his window and yelled "I have eyes, I can see you!".  

The neighbour is too close to the dashcam and looks towards the dashcam so the video had to be edited weirdly to remove him. My editing skills are limited, I'm still learning and the software is also limited as its very basic. A-Plus has already been contacted by phone by the guard and they seemed to take it seriously, but did not want a copy of the video (the non-edited version of this video).
