Arizona 4th worst state for deadly pedestrian crashes, data analysis shows

Dolman Law, a firm based in Florida, analyzed recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They looked at the number of pedestrians killed in crashes from 2017 to 2019 across the country.

In those years, Arizona saw 661 pedestrian deaths, NHTSA data showed, putting our state at 62% above the national average. Only South Carolina, Florida, and New Mexico were higher above the national average. Dolman Law noted that in New Mexico, the deadliest state for pedestrians, the most popular vehicle is a Ford F-150 truck, which has a larger hood and more blind spots than many other vehicles, potentially leading to more deaths in those pedestrian-involved crashes.

New Mexico, Florida, and South Carolina also have urban areas and a nightlife scene, which could lead to more pedestrians on the road after dark. NHTSA breaks down pedestrian crash data by location, time of day, vehicle type, and other related factors.

I rarely see people use cross walks. Instead they run across 4 lanes of traffic with their baby stroller

Seems like a not pro life outcome... Shocker!

I wonder how much the numbers went up after legalizing marajuana for recreational use.

Maybe if jaywalking was enforced.... I watched a homeless man walk diagonally through an intersection. A police cruiser was at the light. The officer turned on his PA and told the man that he 'Really shouldn't be doing that!' and then traveled on.

At the rate we're going... We'll be number One in no time... Just sayin'...

You kinda wonder what box of cracker jacks a majority of people got they're drivers license out of....

We're even the worst state for Drugs, STDs, Kidnapping etc.

Alway nice being at the top of being the worst! You rock Az!

Dang that is awful

Seems Arizona is the worst in lotsa things nowadays.
