Treacherous Mahwah School Crossing Gets More Attention After Another Near-Miss
A crossing guard was leading Nick LaBate’s 6-year-old daughter and her mom across a busy Mahwah street to the youngster’s school bus stop when an SUV came roaring by – not slowing or stopping, just missing them all by a whisker, as the terrified mother yanked the little girl back. LaBate’s ex-wife “was so upset by what might have happened but for a matter of inches that she was in tears,” LaBate said.
