Why Pedestrian Accidents Frequently Cause Severe Injuries. Pedestrian accidents frequently result in serious injuries since individuals lack physical protection in a collision. Even at reduced speeds, a vehicle collision can result in serious injuries. Such accidents often happen in zones where cars and pedestrians mix, like intersections or crowded roadways. Nighttime reduced visibility can heighten the risk by giving drivers less time to react. Vehicle size, speed, and road conditions may also influence the outcome.
