This is really concerning. I had no idea pedestrian deaths had surged so much in the US. It's shocking to think that people are being killed while crossing the street. This highlights the importance of investing in road safety and proper infrastructure for pedestrians. It's unacceptable for anyone to be killed in such a way, especially in this day and age where we have technology to help us navigate safely.

A lot of this is because cars have become significantly taller and heavier, making it harder for drivers to see pedestrians and more likely to kill them when they do.
