What Should Drivers Know About Vehicle-Pedestrian Accidents?
Vehicle-pedestrian accidents can cause serious injury because pedestrians have little physical protection against a moving vehicle. Drivers should remain alert at intersections, crosswalks, school zones, and other places where people may enter the roadway.
Pedestrians can reduce their risk by using marked crossings when available, watching for turning vehicles, and staying visible to drivers. At night or in poor weather, reflective clothing and lights can make pedestrians easier to see.
After a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, information such as roadway conditions, traffic signals, visibility, photographs, and witness accounts may help establish what occurred. Medical records can also document the nature and extent of injuries when treatment is needed. Promptly preserving these details can be useful when the facts are still fresh.
