Pedestrian Accident Statistics

California has some of the country’s highest rates of pedestrian deaths. Most of these accidents result from inattentive driving, intoxicated driving, or other types of driver negligence. According to the National Safety Council, over 6,000 pedestrians died in auto-related collisions in 2017.

Pedestrians struck by automobiles are not an uncommon occurrence. There are several reasons why this happens. Inattentiveness, intoxication, and distraction are some of the most common causes. Poor weather conditions also play a role in these accidents. Decreased visibility due to fog, rain, or snow can make it more difficult for drivers to see pedestrians, especially at night.

Pedestrians should always exercise caution when crossing the street, and drivers should be extra vigilant in inclement weather conditions. All drivers are required by law to take reasonable precautions to avoid striking pedestrians. By taking these precautions, we can help reduce the number of pedestrians struck by multiple vehicle accidents.
