Pedestrian safety the focus of Trooper Steve On Patrol

Central Florida tops in vehicle-pedestrian crashes

ORLANDO, Fla. – Pedestrian safety is definitely something we talk about a lot.

In Central Florida over the last several years, we have been the No. 1 area for vehicle-pedestrian combination crashes.

No magic wand is going to fix this problem. It’s going to take drivers and pedestrians understanding the laws and to work together in order to avoid these collisions.

Sadly, it’s the pedestrian, who usually suffers the most in these types of crashes.

In Monday’s Trooper Steve On Patrol, we talked about where a pedestrian should -- and should not -- travel, and what to do if there is not a sidewalk present.
