What Happens After a Pedestrian Is Struck by a Vehicle?
When a pedestrian is struck, several factors may be reviewed to determine what happened. These can include the direction each person was traveling, traffic signals, crosswalk markings, and the position of vehicles and pedestrians before the collision.
Road conditions and visibility may also be examined. Investigators can review photographs, vehicle damage, nearby surveillance footage, and statements from people who witnessed the collision.
