LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: Efforts to decrease traffic deaths in D.C. can’t be ‘just a hashtag’ By Editor On Dec 15, 2021 Last updated Dec 15, 2021 80 Share “The car just came almost drifting around the corner so fast that my mind couldn’t process exactly what was happening.” That was 9-year-old Peter Dziekan, describing being hit by a car while riding his bicycle home from his Northeast D.C. school. The boy’s words, the bruises still raw on his face and the home surveillance video showing a car run a stop sign, throw him from his bike and then speed away all underscore that the District must better address mounting traffic fatalities and injuries. “It happens a lot,” Peter said about dangerous driving, “and I want to fix that.” 80 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
