In Texas, there has been a disturbing trend over the past few years - a significant increase in pedestrian fatalities. From 2018 to 2022, there was a nearly 30 percent surge in pedestrian deaths. In just the last year of this period, Texas witnessed 5,766 pedestrian accidents, which resulted in 830 heartbreaking fatalities and left 1,526 individuals injured.
