Pedestrian Safety: News Roundup Continues

Today we continue with the pedestrian-car-truck-bus-train collision news items that have been sitting around in my box for months on end. There are so many of them just since the first of the year. You can tell it’s spring. Today we’ll look at three news items that each provide a theme or reason (cause) as to why pedestrians get struck so much.

Raleigh, North Carolina, March 2009 - A 71-year-old pedestrian was

killed after being struck by one SUV and then run over by three other vehicles while he was lying in the road. The SUV driver briefly stopped, then returned to his landscaping white truck and drove off. This is the same location where two young brothers were killed as they darted out into traffic while attempting to cross the street.

Scottsdale, Arizona – April 2009 - In this blog report we have Chris Zachar from Phoenix providing the details of a couple killed while crossing the street. A pickup truck was driving in a 35-mph zone and police indicated the skid marks and amount of damage to the truck would point towards speed being a factor. Of course where speed is a factor distracted and hurried drivers usually go hand in hand.

Salt Lake City, Utah, May 2009 - In this mishap a 9-year-old boy was critically injured after his 12-year-old brother accidentally ran over him with an ATV. It’s reported the younger lad was standing behind the ATV when his brother lost control backing over him. The ATV is a Polaris Ranger 4 x 4 700 series.
