A look at pedestrian fatality numbers

The Governors Highway Safety Association has released its latest stats on fatal traffic accidents involving pedestrians.  Between January and June 2023, U-S drivers hit and killed 3,373 people on foot — an average of 18 deaths a day.  2024 is not yet two months finished, yet Oconee County has seen two pedestrian traffic deaths, according to Coroner Karl Addis.  One of those as late as last week.
