Higher speeds give drivers less time to stop and increase the force of impact, which raises the likelihood of severe or fatal injury to a pedestrian.

Many occur at or near intersections and crosswalks, though a significant number also happen on roadways without nearby crossings, especially in low-light conditions.

Are pedestrian crashes more common at night?

Reduced visibility after dark is a factor in many pedestrian crashes, which is why reflective clothing and well-lit crossing areas can help drivers see people sooner.

What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a car?
