What Factors Are Reviewed in a Pedestrian Collision?
Pedestrian collisions are examined by reviewing the movements of both the driver and the person on foot before the impact. Investigators may look at traffic signals, roadway lighting, visibility, speed, and the location where the pedestrian entered the roadway. Witness statements and any available camera footage can also help establish the sequence of events.
The condition of the vehicle, evidence left at the scene, and the surrounding traffic environment may provide further context.
