Two pedestrian and two bicycle crashes also occurred. Three of these crashes resulted in injuries:
- A pedestrian struck on September 1, 2014 was crossing the north leg of Shroyer Road at Dorothy Lane.
- A pedestrian struck on December 9, 2010 was riding a skateboard on Peach Orchard Avenue and was at fault. No injuries were reported.
- A bicyclist struck on August 13, 2013 was riding southbound on the sidewalk at Acorn Drive.
- A bicyclist struck on January 10, 2014 was crossing Shroyer Road at Acorn Drive and was at fault.
A pedestrian was also struck on September 10, 2015 on Shroyer Road about 100 feet south of Wiltshire Boulevard. The elementary school age pedestrian suffered minor injuries from the crash. Although this crash occurred outside the 5-year time period of this safety study, the crash highlights the challenges facing pedestrians, especially school age pedestrians, of choosing adequate gaps in traffic when crossing the 4-lane section of Shroyer Road. No facilities exist to assist pedestrians to cross Shroyer Road other than the legal (unmarked) crosswalks at each unsignalized intersection within the study area.
A review of the documented crash history on at the Dorothy Lane/Shroyer Road intersection within the City of Kettering is summarized in Table 4. Note that the functional area of the intersection is assumed to be 250 feet.
