Several
groups are at high risk of being hit in a pedestrian crash.
- Young children are frequently
struck in the neighborhood streets near their homes.
- Healthy older adults are
often struck, usually while crossing streets legally in
crosswalks or by cars making turns.
- Many crashes involve pedestrians who have been drinking
or are drunk.
- Finally, the challenge of crossing major multiple lane
arterial streets can make a casualty of even a fit, healthy
and alert adult. Bad weather, driving too fast, inattention
by driver or walker can make situations worse.
