BALTIMORE, Md. — Maryland recorded 37 traffic-related deaths in October, including eight pedestrians and 11 motorcyclists, as state transportation leaders urge drivers to make safer choices on the road.
The October death toll was four lower than the number reported during the same month last year, according to the data cited by state officials.
Transportation leaders are encouraging motorists to remain alert, follow traffic laws, and watch for pedestrians and motorcyclists to help prevent fatal crashes.
Families who have lost loved ones in traffic crashes are invited to attend the annual Maryland Remembers ceremony, scheduled for November 12 in Towson. The event provides an opportunity to remember people who have died on Maryland roads.
State officials continue to emphasize the importance of road safety as communities remember those lost in crashes and work to prevent future tragedies.
