Pedestrian Fatalities in St. Louis, Missouri

Pedestrian accidents remain a serious and growing concern in urban areas like St. Louis, especially in neighborhoods with busy intersections such as Gravois Avenue and Iowa Avenue. The fatal crash late Wednesday underscores the risks pedestrians face, particularly at night when visibility is reduced.
