A new study conducted in California to highlight the deadliest counties for pedestrians showed five of the top 10 were located in the Bay Area.
The study was conducted by the Simmrin Law Group, using data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and looked at the number of people killed in car crashes from 2017-21 and the number of victims that were pedestrians.
At the top of the list was San Francisco County. According to their data, nearly half of the victims killed in traffic accidents in SF County were pedestrians.

Los Angeles County came in second.
