During the last year, there have been multiple fatal pedestrian crashes involving young children across the region, including in March when 4-year-old girl Gracie Gancheva was struck and killed by a truck near Boston Children’s Museum.

Last year, 5-year-old girl Sidney Mae Olson was struck and killed by a tractor trailer truck in an Andover crosswalk. Also, 4-year-old boy Ivan Pierre died following a hit-and-run crash in Hyde Park.

At least 69 pedestrians lost their lives in crashes in Massachusetts last year, accounting for about 20% of the 346 total traffic deaths across the state, according to a recent report from WalkMassachusetts.

Of the state’s 351 cities and towns, 40 had at least one pedestrian fatality last year. More than three quarters (76.8%) of the fatalities took place on streets controlled by cities and towns.
