A Common Misconception About Pedestrian Crashes
Many people assume pedestrian crashes mostly happen at night on dark highways, far from help. In reality, a large share occur in ordinary settings like neighborhood streets and intersections, often in daylight or early evening, close to homes and businesses.
Another assumption is that these crashes are rare events. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 7,314 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in 2023. That is thousands of families affected in a single year, not an isolated kind of tragedy.
It's also easy to assume walkers are mostly to blame when struck. In practice, the causes vary widely, from driver distraction to turning movements to visibility issues, and fault is something investigators determine case by case, not something to assume from the outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I witness a pedestrian crash?
Call 911 immediately, do not move the injured person unless there is an immediate danger like traffic or fire, and wait for emergency crews to direct you on how to help.
What injuries are most common in pedestrian crashes?
Head injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries are common, since a pedestrian has no protective barrier between themselves and the vehicle on impact.
How does vehicle speed affect survival chances?
Lower speeds give drivers more time to stop and reduce the force of impact, which generally improves a pedestrian's chances of survival and recovery.
What usually causes pedestrian accidents?
Common factors include driver distraction, failure to yield at crossings, poor visibility, and vehicles turning without spotting someone in the roadway.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Everman, TX

Try to get the names and contact information of any witnesses, and remember to request a copy of the police report once it's available. Photographs of the scene, if it's safe to take them, can also help later.
