San Diego to Install All-Way Stop, Lower Speed Limit After Boy’s Death at San Carlos Crossing

The move reverses prior city findings that the Jackson Drive intersection did not meet point-based criteria for added controls.

Overview

  • City officials said an all-way stop will be in place at Jackson Drive and Lake Badin Avenue by next Friday, with a 35 mph speed limit and crosswalks also planned.
  • Sixth-grader Andrew Olsen, 12, was killed Monday while walking to school, and two siblings were seriously injured, with the driver stopping at the scene.
  • Police investigators reported no evidence that DUI or excessive speed contributed to the collision.
  • A posted city notice told residents installations would occur over the next two weeks, though residents reported the notice was later removed.
  • The intersection previously scored 10 points under the city’s policy requiring 25 for a stop sign, after earlier evaluations in March and November 2024 rejected requests pressed by resident Shannon Smith.
