What Makes Pedestrian Hit-and-Run Crashes Especially Concerning
Pedestrians have no physical protection during a crash, which increases the risk of injury even at moderate speeds. Impacts at higher speeds can lead to more serious harm.
When a driver leaves the scene, it can delay accountability and make it harder to gather key details. This may slow the process of identifying those involved.
Staying alert in areas with foot traffic and slowing down can help reduce the risk of pedestrian crashes.
