Description

Alberta road safety advocates are demanding a formal investigation into whether the growing size and height of pickup trucks and SUVs are contributing to more pedestrian and cyclist deaths, citing a tragic toddler fatality and mounting research that links taller vehicle fronts to higher fatality risks. They’ve urged the chief medical examiner to analyze crash data and recommend safety measures, arguing that vehicle design must be reexamined—not to ban larger vehicles, but to protect vulnerable road users and reshape safer streets for everyone.
