Another pedestrian killed in San Jose? This city's safety record is getting sketchy 
. First it was three days ago and now two times in one week? Something's gotta give. What's the deal with all these hit-and-run drivers on our streets? Don't they know pedestrians have lives too? 
. I need to see some stats or evidence that shows San Jose is taking proactive measures to improve road safety, not just paying lip service 
.
this is getting crazy in San Jose! two deaths in just three days and it's like they're just adding up 
i feel so bad for the families of those victims... my kids are always walking or biking to school and i'm constantly telling them to be careful and look both ways 
seriously tho, why do we need 2 reminders about road safety every week? can't we just have 1 reminder and be done with it? 
anywayz, to all my san jose peeps out there, let's all just take a deep breath, put on our big kid pants, and remember: if u r gonna cross the street, do it safely & don't be like "oh, i can make it" 
like seriously isnt there somethin we can change or is it just one of those things that happens? and im all for driver responsibility but what about infrastructure?? are we really prepared for this kinda thing? 
. It's like, we always hear about road safety and how important it is to be aware of our surroundings, but sometimes it's just not enough 
. We gotta keep reminding ourselves that our lives are worth more than a split second on the road 
. Like, that pedestrian didn't have a chance to even process what was happening before they got hit 
? No way, we gotta be better than that 
.
.
. It's not that hard, right? Just think about the person who was lost too soon 
.
I know drivers are not trying to cause harm, but accidents can still happen... We should be looking out for each other, making sure everyone gets home safely 
. This trend is so alarming and it's time we take action 
. More bike lanes, better traffic control, and a greater emphasis on road safety measures would go a long way 
. It's not just about the victims' families, but also about giving our city a chance to heal 
.
. Two pedestrian deaths in as many days? What's going on here?! It's like the city is one big obstacle course and we're all just cannon fodder 
. I mean, can't we all just share the roads without someone getting squished? The fact that there are no arrests in the second incident yet is just a giant ol' middle finger to the victims' families 
. Can we please, for the love of all things good, prioritize our pedestrians over some poor driver's ego? 
.
my heart goes out to the victim's loved ones
