ORMOND BY THE SEA, Fla. – A recently published list from Smart Growth America ranked the area of Daytona and Ormond Beach as the fifth most dangerous in the U.S.
for pedestrians. The problem has become a fight for the family of Hannah Curran in Volusia County. “Hannah’s my daughter and I’ll never get to see her again because this place was not safe enough for her to cross the street,” said her mother, Cathy Knowlen.
Curran, 15, was hit and killed by a car in February in a crosswalk in Ormond by the Sea. Investigators said she was rollerblading in the marked crosswalk when a man driving north hit her. [TRENDING: ‘Manatee graveyard in Fla. | 6 major announcements from Disney | Fla.
