How Do We Know It s Not Enough? 1987 to 2010 (24 years), 278 law enforcement struck and killed by vehicles; one officer killed each month. Five firefighters killed in struck by incidents in 2010, about 6 percent of firefighter deaths. An average of 23 highway workers were struck and killed by vehicles each month in 2010 compared to 22 in 2009. International Towing & Recovery Hall of Fame & Museum Chattanooga, TN an average of 1 towing professional killed every six days Slide 38
