The sirens and flashing lights that marked the death of 12-year-old Dashane Santana Friday afternoon have disappeared from the intersection of Delancey and Clinton streets. In their place, her loved ones have launched a makeshift memorial of flowers, candles and photos at the entrance to the Williamsburg Bridge, where a minivan ended her life during a routine walk home from school.

So sad that a young child with her whole life ahead of her was cut short due to the negligence of drivers and also our politicians that won’t take responsability by ensuring a safer cross path in that area. Rest in Peace Dashane, you surely will be in heaven, a shining start who will be missed by her loved ones.
