"It's heartbreaking," says Mayor Shari Cantor.
Between Christmas Day's crash of two cars and two pedestrians getting hit last week, the death toll in streets of West Hartford this holiday period, so far, is five.
Mayor Cantor now plans to convene a task force to see what is going wrong. Action is needed, she says, to make the roads safer.
We don't have to wait for some solutions, says West Hartford's police chief. Says Chief Vernon Riddick, drivers need to follow the rules of the road more closely, and motorists and pedestrians alike should avoid distractions likie cellphone and earbuds.
