Annual vigil commemorates traffic crash victims

The nonprofit group Vision Zero ATX will host a Day of Remembrance vigil in honor of traffic accident victims on Sunday, Nov. 18, at 5 p.m. The annual event, which features remarks by local officials at City Hall followed by a walk to the Capitol building, honors those who have lost their lives or sustained major injuries in vehicle accidents. City Council adopted a Vision Zero action plan in 2016. The goal of the educational safety campaign is to reduce the number of traffic victims to zero.
