District Looks for Crossing Guard Support

The Berkeley County School District is asking for help at the Royle Road entrance to Sangaree Elementary School on Wednesday.

Natalie Boles, 35, of Summerville, was allegedly hit by a pickup driven by a Goose Creek teen. Boles was still in critical condition Friday morning at MUSC.

The driver was ticketed for disobeying a school guard directing traffic, which comes with a $225 fine and four points on her driving record.

The district is reaching out to the S.C. Highway Patrol for temporary assitance and will seek a long-term solution from the S.C. Department of Transportation, according to a report from ABC News 4

Live 5's Mark Davenport spoke to a friend of Boles who said the crossing guard was growing concerned at the traffic.

Martin says it was eerie because of what Boles had told him just a day before the accident. He says the crossing guard told him she was having second thoughts about her work because of how bad the intersection had become.

"After her telling me that and her getting hit," said Martin. "To me that was a sign she knew something bad was going to happen."
