Pedestrian Accidents in California
Pedestrian collisions, such as Tuesday night’s crash in Los Osos, often result in serious injuries due to the lack of protection for those on foot. South Bay Blvd is a key local roadway that sees a mix of residential, recreational, and through traffic, which can make pedestrian safety a challenge—particularly after dark.
Drivers are urged to slow down in pedestrian-heavy areas, remain alert for crosswalks, and be aware of individuals walking along or near the roadway. Pedestrians should also make themselves as visible as possible and cross only in designated areas when it is safe to do so.
