Why Can Hit-and-Run Crashes Cause Serious Injuries to Pedestrians?
Pedestrians have little physical protection when struck by a vehicle, leaving them vulnerable to direct impact forces and contact with the roadway.
When a driver leaves the scene, important information about the collision may not be immediately available to investigators. In some cases, a delay in reporting or locating the victim can also affect the emergency response.
Vehicle speed, impact location, visibility, roadway conditions, and the timing of medical care can all influence injury severity. These factors can make pedestrian hit-and-run crashes especially dangerous.
