A 12-year-old boy was seriously injured in a traffic collision in Calgary 's far southwest.

The boy was struck by a vehicle in an unmarked crosswalk at Belmont Drive and 210th Avenue S.W. The intersection where the crash occurred is only partly controlled by stop signs.

Local residents expressed palpable apprehension about what was described as a lack of safety for pedestrians.
