What Should Drivers Do After a Pedestrian Collision?
Drivers should remain at the scene after a pedestrian collision and contact emergency services. Moving away before authorities arrive can make it harder to determine what happened and may create additional safety concerns.
Drivers should also avoid moving a vehicle unless necessary for safety or directed to do so. If conditions permit, photographs of the roadway, traffic signals, vehicle position, and visible damage may help document what was present at the time.
Pedestrians can reduce their risk by using marked crossings when available, watching for turning vehicles, and staying alert near intersections. At night, reflective clothing or a light can make a pedestrian easier for drivers to see. Both drivers and pedestrians should give one another adequate space and time to react.
