Pedestrian-Involved Collisions in Urban Kentucky
Crashes involving pedestrians—like the one Sunday evening on West Broadway—are among the most dangerous types of urban traffic incidents. Pedestrians are far more vulnerable than vehicle occupants, and even low-speed collisions can result in significant injuries or long-term complications.
The intersection of W Broadway and S 31st St is located in one of Louisville’s most traveled corridors, with a mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial access points, and frequent pedestrian crossings. Incidents here are often linked to poor visibility, driver inattention, or failure to yield at marked crosswalks.
When a pedestrian is struck, EMS teams must act quickly to assess for internal trauma, broken bones, or head injuries—many of which may not be immediately visible. The moments following such a crash are critical for both treatment and investigation.
Drivers are reminded to reduce speed in pedestrian-heavy areas and remain alert for individuals crossing mid-block or at intersections. Failing to do so can result in severe consequences for both the victim and the driver involved.
