Frequently Asked Questions
Does the speed of a vehicle change a pedestrian's odds of survival? Yes. Lower speeds give drivers more time to stop and reduce the force of any impact, which generally means less severe injuries for a pedestrian who is hit.
Where do most pedestrian crashes tend to happen? Many occur at or near intersections and on multi-lane roads, especially where a pedestrian crosses outside a marked crosswalk or steps into traffic unexpectedly.
Are pedestrian crashes more likely after dark? Reduced visibility at night makes it harder for drivers to see people in or near the road, which raises the risk compared with daytime hours.
What should a pedestrian do right after being struck by a vehicle? Call 911 if possible, stay as still as possible to avoid further injury, and seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms can appear later.
