What Do Investigators Review After a Pedestrian Crash?
Pedestrian crashes require a detailed review of roadway evidence, vehicle positions, traffic signals, and witness statements to determine how the collision occurred. Surveillance footage and vehicle data may also help investigators establish the sequence of events.
Visibility, lighting, roadway design, and driver and pedestrian actions are commonly evaluated during the investigation. These factors can provide valuable context, especially when few details are available immediately after the crash.
Drivers can help reduce the risk of pedestrian collisions by remaining alert near intersections and crosswalks, while pedestrians can improve their safety by using designated crossing areas and staying visible to approaching traffic whenever possible.
