Each year, there will be about 10,000 pedestrians injured in crashes involving vehicles. Pedestrians are especially vulnerable to death and serious injury when they have been involved in a crash. Many drivers are distracted or otherwise negligent and fail to see pedestrians in the roadway. Many pedestrians, in turn, are unable to take defensive action to avoid a crash before it is too late.
