Read NewsOn Thursday, the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) released its annual Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities by State: 2021 Preliminary Data, showing that an estimated 7,485 pedestrians were struck and killed by motor vehicles in 2021, a 12% increase from the 6,711 in 2020, marking the highest single year total in 40 years.
Nearly 118 people died in U.S. traffic crashes every day last year, according to the agency’s figures. The Governors Highway Safety Association, a group of state traffic safety officials, blamed the increase on dangerous behavior such as speeding, driving while impaired by alcohol and drugs, and distracted driving, as well as “roads designed for speed instead of safety.”
