Pedestrian deaths are on the rise in the U.S., and experts are warning that larger cars could be to blame.
Annual pedestrian deaths have risen by about 75 percent since 2009, in part thanks to the growing popularity of large trucks and SUVS, according to a new analysis by The New York Times. The report found that these vehicles come with bigger hoods, which are more lethal to pedestrians, and larger blind spots that make it harder for drivers to see people walking nearby.
