Last year, nearly half of the traffic-related fatalities in Tucson were pedestrian deaths, according to the Tucson Police Department.
TUCSON, Ariz. — In 2022, nearly half of the traffic-related fatalities in Tucson were pedestrian deaths, according to the Tucson Police Department.On September of 2022, 21-year-old Kendra Roberts was walking through the crosswalk at the intersection of Grant and Palo Verde and was hit by three cars.
“She was passing through one of those crosswalks. I understand that it was not lit up. It may have been, I don't know. I still haven't seen a police report, but from the witnesses, they said she was crossing and she was hit by three vehicles in that crosswalk,” said Harris. “That's kind of what I wanted to bring attention to, not just for Kendra, but for so many victims. I mean, even the victims that are homeless that were killed nameless,” said Harris.“That is out of a total of 99 traffic fatalities overall so that’s almost about half--substantially more than the previous year,” said Lieutenant Lauren Pettey with the Tucson Police Department.
