Pedestrian and cyclist crashes continue to be a serious issue across Southern Nevada, so those working in local trauma centers held an event Friday to promote safety on our streets. "We don't want to see people get hurt," Todd Hightower, a cyclist and registered nurse at Sunrise Hospital said. Hightower is one of many doing what he can to raise awareness and keep others safe. "I am a cyclist," he said. "But I'm also a father, a husband, a grandfather." He told 8 News Now he has been hurt while riding his bicycle in the past, but he also deals with the trauma of cyclist and pedestrian crashes while working in the trauma center. "I'm a trauma survivor also," Hightower said. "And so, it hits home here every time." He is one of many who participated in Friday's special 'Light Up' event, held at Western Trails Park. "It really is a major issue on our Las Vegas streets," Jeanne Marsala said. She works as a registered nurse and trauma prevention coordinator at Sunrise Hospital.
