Walking with a limp and a neck brace, Cecelia Green says she's spent the past four years in recovery for a host of injuries.

"I have a neck injury, spinal injury, lower back, both hips, two knees," Green said. "The whole body."

Life hasn't been the same for the 57-year-old Brooklyn woman ever since she was struck by a SUV in 2015. 

"He stepped on the gas before he hit me," she said.

She was in a crosswalk. The driver was apparently distracted and in a rush.

Still, Green considers herself one of the lucky ones. Each day, about 100 Americans die in traffic crashes.

That statistic was marked by 100 mock body bags displayed at Bowling Green in Manhattan Sunday morning during a world remembrance vigil to honor traffic crash victims.

As advocates read the names of New Yorkers injured and killed in collisions this year, families of victims held up photos of those they've lost to traffic violence.

Amy Cohen, a co-founder of Families for Safe Streets, says it's time to end the silence on traffic violence.

"Twice as many people die in traffic crashes in America as are murdered by guns," Cohen said. "This epidemic of traffic violence is on par with the opioid crisis. And yet, no one is saying anything."

Advocates and elected officials say during this election season, they're looking to presidential candidates to address traffic safety.

"Because our elected officials have yet to stand up and come up with a plan to not just save and honor those who stand with us here, but every American. Every American who stands a moment away from a distracted driver running through a stop sign, as happened with my cousin Jonathan, and killed him," said Danny Harris, executive director of Transportation Alternatives.

The group supports regulations such as mandatory rear view cameras and speed limiters on trucks.

Some Democratic members of Congress are calling for a federal overhaul of the nation's roadways.

"We need a trillion-dollar transportation infrastructure bill, and all of that infrastructure needs to have safety mandates," said Sen. Charles Schumer.

"Now is the time to demand that we're design our transportation system with a view to reducing and eliminating traffic fatalities," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, whose district covers parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

The group is taking their vigil to social media, urging people to tweet at their elected officials and presidential candidates of choice, using the hashtag #endtrafficviolence.
