Frequently Asked Questions
Are pedestrian crashes more likely to happen at night?
Reduced visibility after dark makes it harder for drivers to see people crossing the street, and many pedestrian crashes, including this one, happen during nighttime or early morning hours.
What should someone do after being hit by a vehicle?
Call 911 right away, stay as still as possible until help arrives, and seek a medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms, including from head injuries, can take time to appear.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but both drivers and pedestrians are expected to use caution, especially at intersections without traffic signals.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in San Antonio, TX
Anyone involved in or who witnesses a pedestrian crash should call 911 immediately so officers and paramedics can respond. If you're the pedestrian and able to do so, try to move to a safe area out of traffic and avoid getting back into the roadway. Even if you feel okay, a medical provider should check for injuries like concussions or internal injuries that aren't immediately obvious. It's also a good idea to get the responding officer's name and incident number, and to write down what you remember about the crash while it's fresh, including the time, location, and any details about the vehicle involved. Follow up with a doctor in the days after the crash if new symptoms, such as headaches or dizziness, develop.
