Why Pedestrian-Vehicle Crashes Can Be Severe
Collisions between vehicles and pedestrians are often serious because pedestrians have no protection against impact. Even at moderate vehicle speeds, a strike can result in significant injuries.
Factors such as lighting, visibility, and driver attention play a major role in these incidents. Intersections, busy streets, and poorly lit areas can increase risk. Emergency response and prompt medical attention are critical in improving outcomes after a pedestrian is hit.
