The Impact of Delayed Emergency Care After a Pedestrian Crash
Pedestrians have little protection when struck by a vehicle, leaving them vulnerable to severe or fatal injuries even in a single impact.
A hit-and-run can also complicate the emergency response and investigation because the involved vehicle may no longer be at the scene when first responders arrive.
Vehicle speed, impact location, visibility, roadway conditions, and the time between the crash and emergency care can all influence the outcome. These factors can make pedestrian hit-and-run crashes especially serious.
