Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

The number of fatal pedestrian accidents in California is among the highest nationwide. Driver negligence, such as texting or driving while intoxicated, is to blame for most of these collisions.

The National Safety Council reports that more than 6,000 pedestrians lost their lives in vehicle accidents in 2017.

Automobiles striking pedestrians is a common occurrence. Some of the most frequent causes include distraction, intoxication, and inattentiveness.

These accidents are also influenced by bad weather. Fog, rain, or snow that reduces visibility can make it more challenging for drivers to see pedestrians, particularly at night.

Drivers should be extra cautious in bad weather, and pedestrians should always use caution when crossing the street. The law requires all drivers to take all necessary precautions to avoid hitting pedestrians. We can lessen the number of pedestrians struck by multiple vehicle collisions by taking these precautions.
