Pedestrian Accident Statistics

Anyone in a traffic accident or collision can get hurt or even die. Statistics from the government show that more than 70,000 pedestrians are killed or hurt each year in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that a pedestrian was killed every 1.5 hours in 2016 in a traffic accident.

Distracted driving is one of the main reasons why people get hurt while walking. Drivers might be talking on the phone, messing with the radio, or talking to other people in the car. When thinking about more than one thing, they are more likely to miss someone crossing the street.

As a pedestrian, you should always be aware of your surroundings and look for signs that a driver may not see you. If a driver looks like they aren’t paying attention, you should cross the street when they aren’t around.

Poor visibility is another common reason why pedestrians get hurt. This can happen because of bad weather or because it’s nighttime. The driver probably can’t see well if you can’t see well.

Wear bright clothes to be seen better in these situations to avoid getting hurt. You should also be careful when crossing the street, and you should only do it when the driver coming toward you can see you.
