Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
Tragic pedestrian crashes like these are an unfortunate reality on Texas roads. The Texas Department of Public Safety reports that someone on foot is killed in a traffic collision nearly every day. Busy intersections, crosswalks, and high-traffic areas are frequent locations for these devastating accidents.
Understanding the factors that often play a role in fatal pedestrian crashes can help families recognize the dangers:
- Crosswalk Risks: Even when using marked crosswalks, pedestrians face serious danger when drivers fail to stop or yield the right of way.
- Nighttime Collisions: A large number of deadly pedestrian accidents happen at night, when visibility is lower and drivers are less likely to see someone crossing.
- Severe Impact Injuries: Pedestrians have no protection in a crash. Head trauma, broken bones, and internal injuries are common and often fatal.
- Emergency Response Limitations: Even with fast medical help, catastrophic injuries from vehicle impacts are often impossible to overcome.
- Ongoing Investigations: Police and crash reconstruction teams must carefully review evidence, witness reports, and roadway conditions to determine the cause of each deadly incident.
