A 74 year old pedestrian who was jogging, died after being struck by an SUV in North Bethesda. This is tragic and unacceptable. bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-beat/… via @BethesdaBeat

Tragic, senseless, preventable. Our roads should be safe for our children. Our roads should be safe for everyone. #ZeroTrafficDeaths
