A total of 42 pedestrians have died in collisions on Brampton and Mississauga streets since 2015, according to Peel regional police statistics.

Another almost 1,000 pedestrians suffered serious injuries.

Peel police say the two cities have seen an average of 650 collisions involving pedestrians in the past three years. An analysis of the causes of those collisions has revealed that, in a “significant number,” the actions of the pedestrian were a contributing factor; whether it was incorrect assumptions made by the pedestrian, or inattentiveness.

So far this year there have been six killed and 291 injured in 342 collisions.
