Yet another pedestrian was hit by a car while crossing the street in a marked crosswalk in Seattle, Washington. I don’t know what’s going on out there but in the last couple weeks there have been what seems to be an unusually large number of pedestrians being hit by cars.

The Settle Police Officer was jogging with a friend on Sunday evening around 5 pm at the intersection of Denny Way and Broad Street. The officer suffered a large cut to his left leg and was take to the hospital to be checked out.

November, December and January are the months with the few hours of daylight here in Washington state. As a result these months are the most dangerous for pedestrians. In the past three years 23 pedestrians have been killed while walking in Seattle.

Keep this in mind as you’re walking out there in the next few months.

Be safe!
