Why Pedestrian Crashes at Intersections Can Be Dangerous
Pedestrian crashes at intersections often occur when vehicles and pedestrians share crossing paths, especially in areas with heavy traffic.
Even at lower speeds, these collisions can result in serious or fatal injuries due to the vulnerability of pedestrians.
Investigators typically examine factors such as visibility, right-of-way, and driver awareness when determining how these incidents occur.
