Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but both drivers and pedestrians share responsibility for watching for one another.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Niagara Falls, NY
If you witness or are involved in a pedestrian crash, call 911 immediately so emergency crews can respond. Stay with the injured person if it's safe to do so, and avoid moving them unless there's an immediate danger. Even when injuries appear minor at first, a prompt medical exam can catch internal or delayed symptoms.
