Frequently Asked Questions
Do pedestrian crashes happen more at night?
Low light and reduced visibility do raise the risk for pedestrians, but collisions like this one also happen in broad daylight, when drivers may not see someone stepping into the road in time to stop.
What should someone do after being hit by a vehicle while walking?
Call 911 right away, stay as still as possible until paramedics arrive, and make sure to get checked by a doctor even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms take hours to appear.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
Pedestrians generally have the right of way at marked and unmarked crosswalks, but drivers and walkers alike are expected to watch for each other before crossing or turning.
What can drivers do to avoid hitting someone on foot?
Slowing down near intersections and curves, scanning the roadside in rural or canyon areas, and avoiding distractions all give drivers more time to react to a pedestrian in the road.
