WASHINGTON, July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Regan Zambri Long car accident attorney
Patrick Regan urges everyone to stay
safe on the roads this summer as traffic fatalities continue to
increase in Washington, DC.
Last year, DC saw the highest number of traffic fatalities since
2007. There were 52 fatalities in the region, up more than 60
percent from 2022. And looking at the most recent numbers, 2024 may
be even higher. As of July 17, the
Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPD) reported 31 traffic
fatalities, a 7 percent increase from the same time last year.
To curb roadway fatalities, Washington, DC, created the Vision Zero
campaign in 2015 to eliminate all deaths or serious injuries by
2024. The city invested in new bicycle lanes, lowered speed limits,
and added new speed enforcement cameras. Yet, with all the safety
improvements, deaths continue to rise.
"These numbers are very troubling," said Regan, the Senior
Partner and President of Regan Zambri
Long. "We urge all drivers to remain vigilant when getting
behind the wheel. Avoid distractions and follow the speed limit.
Let's keep everyone on the road safe from harm."
