Pedestrian Crash Safety and Awareness
Pedestrian crashes can happen quickly, especially during nighttime hours when visibility is reduced for both drivers and people walking near roadways. Motorists are encouraged to remain alert, reduce speed in residential areas, and watch carefully for pedestrians crossing streets or walking near traffic.
Pedestrians can also improve safety by using marked crossings whenever available and remaining visible to drivers after dark. Even crashes at lower speeds can result in serious injuries for those on foot.
Authorities remind all roadway users to stay attentive and avoid distractions while traveling to help reduce the risk of pedestrian-related accidents. The Virginia Beach Police Department continues to investigate the crash.
