Frequently Asked Questions
Where do most pedestrian accidents happen?
Many pedestrian crashes occur at or near intersections, where turning vehicles and crossing pedestrians share the same space at the same time.
Are pedestrian accidents more common at night?
Reduced visibility after dark raises the risk, but collisions like this one show that daytime crashes, especially at busy intersections, happen frequently as well.
What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a car?
Call 911 immediately, stay as still as possible until medics evaluate you, and seek medical care even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms appear later.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk generally have the right of way, but drivers turning through an intersection are required to yield to them as well.
