A 14-year-old was struck by a vehicle near East High School

A 14-year-old girl was struck by an oncoming vehicle Monday morning at the intersection of Windmill Road and East Pershing Boulevard, according to a report from wyomingnews.com.

The incident occurred at 7:22 a.m. as the teenager attempted to cross Pershing Boulevard using a crosswalk, the Cheyenne Police Department stated in a Facebook post.

The victim sustained injuries and was transported to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center, though officials have not disclosed the severity of those injuries.

The driver remained at the scene and was cited by police following the collision.

Family members seek more than a citation

Madison Barbee, the niece of the victim, shared details regarding the teenager’s condition and expressed frustration with the legal outcome.

“She has a broken collarbone and broken ribs, and so far okay,” Barbee posted. “My niece did everything right. She had the right of way to cross, and was not only struck, BUT RAN OVER. We are livid and a citation is NOT ENOUGH.”

Barbee noted that she was struck in that same crosswalk 10 years ago and stated that the family is seeking justice for the girl, referred to as Mak, and for others who have faced similar dangers.

The family also expressed gratitude for a bystander who assisted at the scene and notified the girl’s grandmother.

This incident follows a previous tragedy involving a student in Cheyenne. Makaili “Mak” Evans was 13 years old when he was struck by a motor vehicle while crossing Education Drive on Nov. 5, 2021, near McCormick Junior High School.

Pedestrian risks in school zones

Cheyenne Police Chief Mark Francisco noted that pick-up and drop-off times represent particularly dangerous periods for both students and drivers near school zones.

He asked citizens to slow down and eliminate distractions to help maintain safety in these areas.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation released a 2025 report indicating that 93 pedestrian-related crashes were reported in the state during that year.

For additional safety information and tips for both pedestrians and drivers, the Cheyenne Police Department directed the public to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.

No further details regarding the incident have been released.
