After three people were hit by vehicles in two separate incidents on Monday morning, leaving one dead, the Ottawa Safety Council is reminding drivers to pay attention and be cautious around pedestrians.ant to emphasize the importance of drivers being not impaired, paying attention and not being distracted on the phone in any way,” Jamie Kwong, executive director of the council, said in an interview Tuesday, adding she doesn’t know the cause of either of the incidents.
Drivers, Kwong added, need to be “extra vigilant” in Ottawa’s pedestrian-dense neighbourhoods like Sandy Hill, especially as daylight disappears heading into the winter, as people are commuting to work and school in the dark.As drivers, we’re behind a two- or three-ton vehicle. We have to take driving as a very serious responsibility.”
