What Can Affect the Severity of a Pedestrian Crash?
Pedestrian crashes can result in serious injuries because people on foot have little protection from the force of a vehicle impact. Vehicle speed, the location of the impact, visibility, traffic conditions, and roadway design can affect the severity of injuries. Crosswalks, intersections, and areas with frequent vehicle movements can require extra attention from both motorists and pedestrians.
Information from the scene can help establish how a pedestrian crash occurred. Vehicle damage, roadway markings, witness statements, lighting conditions, and available video may provide useful details. Medical evaluations can also document the extent of injuries following a collision.
