Frequently Asked Questions
Are pedestrian accidents more common at night?
Visibility drops after dark, and many pedestrian crashes happen in the evening or early morning hours when drivers have less time to see and react to someone on or near the roadway.
What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a car?
Call 911 right away, stay as still as possible until help arrives, and seek a medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms take hours to appear.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
In New Hampshire, drivers are generally required to yield to pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk, though pedestrians also have a duty to use reasonable care before stepping into traffic.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Crash in Kingston, New Hampshire
Anyone involved in or who witnesses a pedestrian crash in Kingston should first make sure emergency responders are on the way. If you're the pedestrian and able to do so, note what you remember about the moment of impact while it's fresh, including the direction of travel and any signals or signs nearby. Getting checked by a doctor afterward matters even if you feel able to walk away, since shock can mask pain from internal injuries or fractures. If you saw the crash happen, sticking around to give a statement to responding officers can help investigators piece together what occurred.
