Deadly hit-and-run in Palm Springs raises safety concerns among residents

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - Hidden dangers on a Palm Springs road.

A deadly hit-and-run on Vista Chino over the weekend has renewed concerns among Palm Springs residents and pedestrians who say the stretch of road has long been dangerous.

Some say they are concerned but not surprised, citing the lack of street lights, long distances between intersections, and fast-moving vehicles. Residents also point to frequent jaywalking along the corridor, saying people often take risks because marked crossings are so far apart.

As a result, some are now urging officials to consider additional safety measures before another tragedy occurs.
