(Is that the first pedestrian killed this year or is your sidebar stat not yet updated?)
Every dead or injured pedestrian is one too many but it’s a miracle there aren’t more. I regularly see near-misses where the pedestrian has to jump away and/or the car/truck comes to a screeching halt just before the driver hits someone. Trucks have terrible blind corners but pedestrians and bikes should be aware of that as well and act with caution. Especially trucks that are already slightly turned, don’t see anything on the crosswalk or bike path anymore. Not staring at your phone screen while crossing and glance over your shoulder are also good habits to develop if you want to stay alive.

mare, I thought I had. It’s updated now. The only previous one I’m aware of this year was a man killed in an incident with a cube van in Rosemont in March. But police don’t keep a count of pedestrians killed in traffic as they do with homicides.
