TUCSON, Ariz. -- — Right now, the Tucson Police Department's traffic unit is writing a plan to study and try to prevent more people walking on our streets from being hit and killed.
She said, in most cases, after a driver hit someone, that person is not running away."More often than not," Pettey said,"the drivers are cooperating with the investigation and we have noticed that they tend to be actually driving the speed limit." In the last deadly crash of the month, January 30, TPD said the woman who was hit walked in the crosswalk when it wasn't her turn, but officers learned the driver was going well over the 30 MPH night-time speed limit on 22nd Street.
Lt. Pettey mentioned there's another key factor: the time of day, or rather, night, when more people are out driving or walking. In taking a closer look at TPD's reports, out of the 10 deadly cases, seven people were hit between 6 p.m. and midnight.
