Pedestrian Accident Statistics

When cars and people on foot collide, they often both get seriously hurt. People who survive serious car accidents but can still walk away from the scene usually have permanent injuries like broken bones or paralysis. This has a terrible effect on their standard of living.

In the United States, more and more pedestrians are getting hurt or dying in car accidents. Every 88 seconds, on average, a pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident. In 2017, there were 5,977 pedestrian deaths in the United States.

No one has the right to cross the street on foot. Because they are helpless and weak, they are the most likely to get poorly hurt or die in a disaster.

In California, the number of accidents involving pedestrians has increased recently. In 2017, about 1,200 people died while walking, a 25% rise from 2016.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that most pedestrian accidents are caused by drunk or distracted drivers who don’t move over when they should.
