What Happens When a Pedestrian Is Struck by a Vehicle?
Pedestrians have little physical protection when they are involved in a collision with a vehicle. The severity of injuries can vary based on vehicle speed, the point of contact, and whether the person falls onto the roadway.
Intersections can create particular risks because vehicles and pedestrians may approach from different directions. Drivers should check carefully for people crossing or walking near the roadway, especially when visibility is limited.
When a pedestrian is found unresponsive, medical personnel generally assess the person’s condition and provide appropriate emergency care. The extent of injuries may not be known immediately and can require further medical evaluation.
