WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. August 19, 2008: Police report an 11-year-old boy was struck while riding a bicycle at the intersection of Baylor Circile and Havilands Lane Tuesday afternoon approximately 4: 15 P.M. Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety Daniel Jackson reports:

11 year old child struck by a vehicle. Minor injuries, parents on scene. Transported to WP hospital for treatment. No summons issued at this time.

Just a quiet intersection -- Baylor Circle and Haviland Lane-- scene of child's bicycling accident Tuesday afternoon. I

Barbara Dille, off Haviland Manor noted to WPCNR this highlights the need for citizens driving in the neighborhoods to slow down, be aware and watch out for children. Dille told WPCNR Mayor Joseph Delfino when told of the accident, was very concerned and will hold a meeting next week with the Traffic Commissioner and the Department of Public Safety to discuss what Dille described as the ongoing problem of speeding in the outer neighborhoods of White Plains, and the need for speed bumps in residential neighborhoods.

Dille observed White Plains Police have been diligent in speed enforcement with stepped up observing posts on Ridgeway and Bryant Avenue, but said "What can they do? They are trying."  The accident, she told WPCNR, was a reminder for motorists to be aware that at any time children or pedestrians can dart out in front of your moving vehicle.
