Warm Weather, Exercise, Bikes And Cars Add Up To A Deadly Mix In Florida
According to a recent study Florida is the most deadly state in America for pedestrians and bike riders. This marks the eighth straight year Florida has been amongst the top of the list for bicycle and pedestrian fatalities. According to USA Today more than 11% of all pedestrians killed in the U.S. died in Florida. The number is even higher as 17.4% of bicyclists died on Florida’s streets.
The data collected was from 2008 and is the most recent published. Florida’s warm weather and population that is predisposed to outdoor pursuits are contributing factors in the number of deaths. Some advocates are saying there is not enough education done concerning pedestrian and bicycle safety as reported in a story on SunSentinel.com.
