Did A Lack Of A Crosswalk Cause This Fatality?

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) found in 2015 that over 5,000 pedestrians are killed in accidents involving a motor vehicle each year. Those who choose to walk instead of driving or riding are 1.5 times more likely of being killed in an accident than those who are passengers in a motor vehicle. The federal agency recommends that in order to stay safe pedestrians should use sidewalks, cross all intersections at crosswalks, and whenever possible wear high-visibility or reflective clothing when it is dark.

According to a story appearing on the AZCentral.com website, for one 60-year-old Phoenix woman, there was no crosswalk for her to use as she crossed the street on the morning of February 1st. Authorities say that Selina Dole, 60 was crossing the street McDowell Road, near 48th Lane when she was struck and killed by a Ford Fusion being driven by a 61-year-old man.
