Crosswalk installed where Iowa State tight end and Nixa grad Chase Allen was hit by car

Chase Allen might have made the city of Ames, Iowa a little bit safer.

The city of Ames, Iowa installed a crosswalk on South Fourth Street, just across from Jack Trice Stadium. The crosswalk is designed to protect pedestrians who cross the street at approximately the same spot a Pontiac Grand Prix struck Allen on the Iowa State University campus in 2016.

Allen tweeted a photo of the crosswalk on Friday with the words “Chase Allen Memorial Crosswalk” superimposed over the picture. He offered a shout-out to the city of Ames “for this long overdue beauty being opened up today.
