As a former book publicist turned transportation planner, I am uniquely positioned to review this book. Singer takes the abstract concept, that of the traffic "accident," and through a personal tragedy makes it immediately human. Using history and common sense reasoning, Singer shows that the status quo is untenable.

There are No Accidents

Investigative journalist and activist whose writing appears in Buzzfeed, New York Magazine, Guardian, The Awl, and elsewhere Jessie Singer's There Are No Accidents, recounting the history of accidents and reveals how they've come to define all that's wrong with America; as the rate of accidental death skyrockets, the poor and people of color bear the brunt of the violence and blame, while the powerful use the excuse of the "accident" to avoid consequences for their actions,
I do recommend this if you are interested in the subject matter. It is extensively cited and around a quarter of it is just notes on arguments and statements made and referenced.

Thank you to the publisher - Simon & Schuster- for sending me an ARC to review.
