Traffic Fatalities continue to plague San Jose City and Santa Clara County. With the sad death of Hsien Tsun Wan, 77, only ten days have passed into the new year with a road fatality victim each represented by a pedestrian, cyclist, auto passenger and driver. There has also been a fatality during the first 10 days which died after being struck by a VTA light rail train.
Now with six road fatalities by the first half of the first month; at this rate the county could possibly reach 150 fatalities by the end of the year far eclipsing 97 road fatalities in 2007. Somehow when we state that We are America's safest big city, we never seem to mention traffic deaths or injuries.

its funny ... this story is great. my friend asked a cop why the crosswalk signals must be pushed in san jose unlike san francisco. his answer was that there is very little pedestrian traffic in san jose. i guess someone is in denial...
