Up to 260 people lost their lives statewide, up by 45 deaths from the previous year. Sen Sgt Warren said several causes were behind the crashes, including drivers veering off the road or failing to give way and pedestrians wearing dark clothes at night. There was another one where a pedestrian simply ran out in front of a vehicle between a couple buses and we had a couple crashes where drivers lost control around bends, he said. Sen Sgt Warren urged drivers to be aware of the fatal five this holiday season. Observe the speed limit, make sure everyone has their seatbelt on, alcohol is just not on if you re driving, don t drive distracted ⦠and be aware of fatigue, he said.
