What Happens After a Fatal Pedestrian Crash in Dallas County?
Pedestrian crashes on interstate highways can result in severe or fatal injuries because pedestrians have little protection when struck by a moving vehicle. Investigators may examine roadway conditions, vehicle movements, visibility, witness statements, and other available evidence to determine how the crash occurred.
Determining responsibility in a pedestrian collision requires examining the specific circumstances and evidence. Until investigators establish how the crash happened, responsibility should not be assumed.
