A Town of Babylon teenager is calling for changes after he was struck by a vehicle while riding his bike across from the high school.

"I was scared, I was confused too," said Francis Chavez, the Wyandanch Memorial High School student who is still recovering after being hit by a car. "The car didn't slow down or nothing and it just hit me."

Chavez, 14, was struck while he riding his bike to soccer practice across the street from the high school on Sept. 13.

"When I looked on him and saw how hurt he was, he was bloodied and thank God the ambulance came," said Paul Sibblies, the high school's principal.

Chavez and his classmates are now pushing for safety improvements at the corner of South 32nd Street and Jamaica Avenue.

"As a voice for him, we stepped up and we helped him out and make sure that this will never happen again," said William Morgan, vice president of the Kappa League, a mentoring program at Wyandanch High School.

According to David Bligh, Town of Babylon engineer, the town re-did some of the lines on the road, so drivers can see them better.

Bligh tells News 12 that a new school speed zone sign was also installed.

"Some of the signs were on the older side. We've got newer, more reflective signs," said Bligh.

News 12 also learned the town is also looking into potentially adding a stop sign, crosswalk and rumble strips near the school.

Improved safety measures that Chavez and his friends say can't come soon enough.

"We shouldn't all have to worry about getting hit by a car," said Anthony Moore, president of the Kappa League.

"How I'm speaking up about this is how I'm making a change here in this school," said Chavez.
