Fatal Pedestrian Accident Statistics

Pedestrians are more likely to perish in an accident than passengers in an enclosed vehicle. The reason for this is that pedestrians are completely unprotected in the event of an accident.

In the US, the number of pedestrian deaths has alarmingly increased lately. Between 2007 and 2016, pedestrian deaths rose by 27%, while traffic-related deaths fell by 14%.

Some of the most stunning cities in the nation are found in California. Contrary to other states, Californian roads are regrettably less friendly to pedestrians. People from California frequently advise visitors to the state to walk extremely cautiously on the streets.

California has the nation’s most hazardous roads for pedestrians. According to the California Authority, the death rate in California is 25% higher than the national average. In 2018, 14,000 pedestrian injuries and 893 fatalities were reported in California alone.
