"Two lives cut short unnecessarily, said Walk SF Executive Director Jodie Medeiros, referring to Thursday and Friday's deaths. It doesn't have to be this way. San Francisco can and should do better to keep us safe."
"Friday's hit-and-run marks five pedestrian deaths in San Francisco so far this year, according to the group Walk SF, which is pushing for quicker progress on the city's Vision Zero initiatives."
San Francisco faced a deadly week of traffic violence affecting pedestrians and cyclists. A two-year-old was killed in Mission Bay, a pedestrian died after being struck by a reversing vehicle on Kearny Street in North Beach, and another pedestrian was fatally hit in a hit-and-run in the Outer Mission. A female cyclist was struck on Irving Street in the Inner Sunset with life-threatening injuries but is expected to survive. These incidents bring the year's pedestrian death toll to five. Walk SF's Executive Director emphasized the preventability of these deaths and called for faster implementation of Vision Zero safety measures to protect vulnerable road users.
