Sadly, fatalities from car accidents are on the rise, for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers too. Last night in CT, a woman was struck while walking across the street. The guy who hit her got out to help, and was struck by a second car and killed. Darkness and rain were factors.
I blame a lot of that on people being in a big damn hurry all the time because they didn't start out ten minutes earlier. Not paying full attention to their driving is another one that is often the result of paying attention to their phone instead, while driving a 3 or 4000 pound tank that can decimate cyclists and pedestrians.
The biggest problem being people just don't think.
