Gwinnett Woman Struck by Jeep
Another pedestrian was killed on Saturday night in Gwinnett County. She appears to have been trying to cross the street. The woman was hit by an unidentified jeep.
Pedestrians in the the Atlanta area run a significant risk of injury or death. Many roads have no sidewalks or safe areas to walk, and drivers do not watch for pedestrians. Even getting to a bus stop can be hazardous.
As oil prices continue to rise, more people will need to seek alternative means of transportation, and the need for safer conditions for pedestrians will rise.
