US 1 hit and run ends in tragedy
Traffic accidents put pedestrians at higher risk of severe injuries or death simply because they cannot protect themselves against vehicle impact. Accidents involving pedestrians happen way too often in Florida. For pedestrian deaths in 2021, Florida had the second-highest number per capita and the second-highest total across the country. It’s a big problem as Florida repeatedly ranks high for pedestrian dangers.
Losing a loved one is difficult. For surviving family members, facing the loss of a loved one is deeply painful and emotionally draining. Besides all the sorrow and anguish of a tragic loss, the family typically has to spend tens of thousands of dollars on medical bills and funeral costs.
