CHESHIRE (AP) The parents of a Connecticut child who was struck and killed by a vehicle after buying an ice pop from an ice cream truck are leading the push for the implementation of safety measures for ice cream trucks.
The state Transportation Committee and the Committee on Children passed nearly identical bills that would require trucks to be outfitted with stop signs similar to those on a school bus and a mirror to allow the driver to see anyone in front of the truck, the Record-Journal reported.
“If such a tragedy can take my son, it can take anyone’s child. Our lives are forever changed and my new purpose is to bring awareness and change and hopefully prevent such a senseless tragedy in the future,” Christi Carrano of Wallingford wrote in testimony delivered to both committees.
