CONCLUSION
We found an increasing trend in the rate of fatalities
for pedestrian and bicycle rider victims of distracted
driving crashes. Some characteristics of the victim and
crash scene may provide useful insights into further
research and policy efforts. The data from this study
can be used by advocates of policies to reduce distracted
driving or improve the safety of the built environment
for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Yet again another report based on the scant data available... But I have yet to see a single report that states that there is no increase of distraction related deaths to cyclists and peds by any reputable national agency.
