A spike in pedestrian deaths correlates to distribution of wealth
AT THE END OF OCTOBER, Charlotte- Mecklenburg Police issued a warning to drivers: Watch out for pedestrians. With two months still left in the year, 24 people had been hit and killed by cars—compared to 17 at that point in 2016.
The overwhelming majority of this year’s pedestrian fatalities occurred at night, police say, and often the victim was wearing dark clothing and crossing the street outside of a marked crosswalk. A CMPD sergeant compared that behavior to “playing Frogger,” as he warned both drivers and walkers to watch for each other.
