PROVIDENCE, RI — Speeding and drunken and distracted driving are the likely culprits behind a spike in pedestrian deaths recorded in several U.S. states last year, according to new data released Thursday.
In fact, bad driver behavior during the coronavirus pandemic likely contributed to the largest-ever nationwide increase in pedestrian deaths recorded in a single year, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association's 2020 report on pedestrian fatalities by state.
Rhode Island is among those that saw an increase in pedestrian deaths in 2020, or the number of people on foot who were killed by people driving cars.
