Pedestrian Accident Statistics

Since they are unable to protect themselves from potentially fatal injuries, pedestrians represent the most vulnerable road users.

The number of people killed while walking has skyrocketed in the United States in recent years. All other types of traffic-related deaths decreased between 2007 and 2016, but the death toll from pedestrian accidents rose by 14.

When it came to drinking and driving, pedestrians had no doubt. Using drugs and alcohol while driving is a serious offense. Driving under the influence is less common than it should be in the United States.

The NHTSA estimates that drunk driving is responsible for the deaths of 30 Americans each day in the United States. In the United States, 29 percent of traffic-related deaths are attributed to drunk driving. Their BAC is frequently greater than the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
