Pedestrian Accidents in Michigan
Pedestrians are at significant risk in multi-vehicle crashes, as they are exposed to direct impact forces without the protection of a vehicle. Michigan State Police data indicates that pedestrian-involved collisions often result in severe or life-threatening injuries, especially in urban environments with heavy traffic flow. Common contributing factors include driver distraction, failure to yield at crosswalks, and speeding.
To help reduce these risks, drivers should slow down in pedestrian-heavy areas, remain alert for those crossing at intersections, and comply with traffic signals. Pedestrians can improve safety by using designated crosswalks, making eye contact with drivers before crossing, and remaining aware of surrounding traffic movements.
