Memorial Grows for Riverside Child and Babysitter Struck and Killed
On Wednesday, a two-year-old boy and his babysitter were tragically struck and killed while crossing a street in Riverside.
Now, their photos sit at the center of the growing memorial across from Liberty Elementary, as loved ones pay their respects. Eligia Morales was 2-year-old Julian's babysitter. The two were tragically hit and killed while in a marked crosswalk after picking up Julian's 7-year-old sister from school Wednesday.
"He was just a pleasant little soul," Roxanna Maxam, the crossing guard at the corner of Hayes and Roosevelt Streets, said."If you’re driving a vehicle in any street you watch for pedestrians," Maxam said."Especially a school zone. Kids are little, you can’t see past your hood, you may not see them."
Riverside police say the 46-year-old woman driving a 2020 Range Rover was making a left turn when she hit Morales, Julian and his sister. She was the only one who survived.
