Two pedestrians have died on Denver streets since the last Traffic Violence Report. The number of road deaths this year is now 70, compared to 61 on Dec. 25 of last year, a 15 percent increase.
Saliha Abdalla-Suleiman, 42, was the victim of the December 11 hit-and-run where a driver steered a Winnebago motor home onto a sidewalk. Her family thinks the driver may have intentionally run over the Eritrean refugee because she is Muslim.
