Frequently Asked Questions
What should a pedestrian do after being hit by a vehicle?
Call 911 immediately, avoid moving if injured, and wait for emergency medical personnel. Get the contact information of any witnesses and, if possible, document the scene once it is safe to do so.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
In most states, including Texas, pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk generally have the right of way, though drivers and pedestrians both carry a duty to use reasonable caution.
How can drivers lower the chance of hitting someone on foot?
Slowing down near intersections, scanning both sides of the road before turning, and staying attentive in low-light conditions all help drivers spot pedestrians sooner.
What injuries are common in pedestrian crashes?
Pedestrians struck by vehicles frequently suffer broken bones, head and spinal injuries, and internal injuries, since they have little protection against a vehicle's impact.
