TO THE EDITOR:
Leaving the UNC hospital parking deck on Jan. 27, I stopped my vehicle to allow a woman to cross the road at a designated pedestrian crossing. Immediately, a hospital employee in a gold SUV used the left turn lane to cross in front of me and turn right, nearly hitting said pedestrian. This is not acceptable behavior for anyone, let alone someone who works at a hospital. Saving 15 seconds on your Friday commute home is not worth risking someone else’s life.
