Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Highbridge?
Highbridge Bleeds While City Sleeps: Demand Safe Streets Now
Highbridge: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Highbridge
No one died on the streets of Highbridge this year. But the blood never stopped. In the last twelve months, 107 people were hurt in 184 crashes. Not one week passes without someone limping away, or not walking at all. The youngest injured was under 18. The oldest, over 75. The pain does not discriminate. Data source
Serious injuries are rare, but luck is not a plan. Two people suffered wounds the city calls “serious.” That means broken bones, torn flesh, or worse. Most wounds are called “moderate.” The words do not heal. The numbers do not comfort. They only count the bodies.
Patterns That Don’t Change
Cars and SUVs hit hardest. In the last three years, SUVs and sedans caused the most pain. Nine pedestrians were struck by SUVs. Four by sedans. Buses and unknown vehicles added to the toll. No one was killed, but the scars remain. Crash data
Speed is the silent killer. Crash after crash, the story repeats. Unsafe speed. Driver inattention. Following too close. The same mistakes, the same results. The city lowers speed limits, but the wheels keep spinning.
Leadership: Promises and Delays
The city says it wants zero deaths. Vision Zero. New speed limits. More cameras. But in Highbridge, the pace is slow. The city passed Sammy’s Law, letting leaders set 20 mph limits. They could act now. They have not. Cameras catch speeders, but only where they are installed. The rest of the streets are left to chance.
No bold moves from local leaders. No public fights for more cameras. No push for protected bike lanes. No outcry for safer crossings. The silence is loud. The wounds are fresh.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. It is policy. Every injury is a choice made by someone in power. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand 20 mph limits. Demand more cameras. Demand streets where children can walk without fear.
