HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - New data shows trucks and SUVs are more likely to hit pedestrians than smaller cars.

Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that more than 6,500 pedestrians were killed in 2020. That number is up 59% since 2009.

The study compares that to the dramatic increase in the popularity of larger vehicles.

Back in 2009, trucks, SUVs and vans accounted for just under half of all new vehicle sales in the U.S. Now that figure is closer to 75%.


more people killed by SUVs and trucks than guns....
