Tonights big story. Statistics are eyeopening. There have been more than 9,000 crashes involving folks walking across the street here in florida over just the last 12 months. More than 7,000 people were hurt in the crashes. And listen to this. Another 600 people died in something that is potentially preventible. But it is going to take all of us to make these roads safer, and i am joined now by 10news re valladolid. You spent the day getting both perspective of this issue. Phil, you were behind the wheel . Reporter yes, driving up and down gulf boulevard today. Really surprised at the number of people i saw stepping out right in front of our car. I mean, and shannon, you were riding shotgun. You saw it as well. Reporter the most disturbing part was not seeing people illegally cross the street, but the fact that they had their small children with person running across. They make it most of the time. When they start dragging two and three and fouryearolds across the street in the middle of the road, its like who raised that guy . Reporter and thats exactly what we saw. This family was just feet away from a crosswalk but still chose to dart through traffic with their two daughters. I have seen people with stroll he is in the middle of the road and its just, you know, it makes you want to get out and Say Something like, crosswalk one block away. At nighttime when i drive it, you cant see them on the road. They are like right in front you have. Reporter the more people we spoke to that spend time here will tell you that jaywalking is nothing new. They feel the only solution is lower the speed limit. There are two sides to this ad campaign. Safety is a shared responsibility. Yes, they say walk with care, but they also say driveway ware. They say some of these see cars blowing through the stoplights . Yes. The little crosswalks that the pedestrians have to push the button, a lot of times i see the vehicles not slow down for them. Some of the pedestrians are doing the right thing. The cars arent paying attention. With the texting and driving going on nowadays and, you know, just unaware drivers doing whatever they are doing while they are driving, they may not see you. Of course, they all do. Reporter thats campaign is so important. It addresses both sides of the problem and makes safety the top priority for everyone involved. Safety is a shared responsibility. Some people thought the sign should say use crosswalks. That would be too limited. Both sides have to be careful. Both sides have to preserve life. Reporter so if you come to these beach communities anytime soon, get ready, you will see businesses up and down gulf boulevard. It makes even more of a difference, i think, because we are starting to see more tourists, more snowbirds come down. Many dont know to look for the lights. Reporter and to stop. Reporter and it stop when they see the lights. They want to get this out there as much as possible as we get more traffic on the roads and in the crosswalks. Reporter yeah, guys. As long as you are following the rules, you are making the roads safer. Reporter that was eye opening. We have seen people stopping. This isnt just a problem for Treasure Island and madeira beach.

I am sad for them and i pray for them and i would love to talk to them. Now, money aside, property can be replaced, but there is some things that were stolen that cant be replaced. The pastor had photos where she spread her daughters ashes after she died cancer. Well, a louisiana man says playing by the rules is actually working against him. He is trying to fix his home after the historic flooding in august. Now, he says having Flood Insurance paid off, but his Mortgage Company is now fighting him on the payout. Its kind of funny. The guy who had insurance in the neighborhood is gonna end up being the one with his house done last. He has been using his own repair flood damage. The Mortgage Company refuses to give him the money from the Flood Insurance. The bank says in order to give him the funds to do it himself, state law requires him to have a contractors license. The contractors licensing board says thats not correct. We go back and forth. You can show us legal documents that you are correct, then you will be able to do it. He says he actually provided the right documents. His bank finally released insurance payout, but denied the rest. So this fight isnt over. Congo river rapids is back open at Busch Gardens tonight.
