Families, friends and advocates remembered those who have been lost to traffic crashes on the steps of the State House early Sunday, part of events across the state marking the “World Day of Remembrance.”

“2,130 people killed or seriously injured per year is unacceptable,” stated the Massachusetts Families for Safe Streets, an organizer of the State House rally Sunday. “Even one death is too many. We can no longer make incremental progress.”

The Massachusetts Vision Zero Coalition, an advocacy group dedicated to traffic safety, organizes the annual day of remembrance to “reflect upon those we’ve lost and commit ourselves to improving our roads.” Advocates held events throughout the week leading up and across the state Sunday, including Cambridge, Worcester, Taunton and more.
