Pedestrian Accidents in Maryland
Pedestrian-involved collisions remain a critical safety concern across Maryland, especially in urban and suburban corridors like Eastern Shore Dr in Salisbury. These areas see a mix of commuter traffic, delivery vehicles, and local foot traffic, creating an environment where even a moment of distraction or failure to yield can lead to devastating consequences.
While the cause of this incident is still under investigation, many similar crashes stem from poor visibility, lack of crosswalk infrastructure, or driver inattention. Nighttime or early evening incidents in particular—when lighting may be low—pose higher risks for pedestrians, even in marked crossing zones.
When a person is hit by a vehicle, injuries can be life-altering.
