On March 2, 2017, Michelle Taylor, a 16-year-old student of [[Matanzas High School]] was struck and killed by a car while walking home from school in an area with no sidewalks and few street lights.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.palmcoastobserver.com/article/palm-coast-resident-michelle-taylor-16-killed-in-car-crash-21-year-old-injured|title = Palm Coast resident Michelle Taylor, 16, killed in car crash; 21-year-old injured &#124; Palm Coast|date = 3 March 2017}}</ref> In the following months, the people of the city petitioned to have more street lights and sidewalks installed throughout the entire city to reduce the number of pedestrian injuries and deaths. Students of Matanzas High School took charge of these efforts by creating committees and petitions to generate attention and pressure the local city council. Towards the end of 2016, Kevin Smith Jr, also a student of Matanzas, was injured in a hit and run under the same conditions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://flaglerlive.com/103195/cycling-hit-and-run/|title=Kelvin Smith, 16, Killed in Hit-and-Run as He Was Cycling on Old Kings Road in F-Section|date=January 2017}}</ref>
