Pedestrian Crashes on California Highways: What Makes Them Dangerous. Pedestrian collisions on highways such as CA-41 are typically among the most severe traffic accidents. On high-speed roads, drivers have minimal time to react, and pedestrians lack any protection against the impact of a vehicle. Collisions occurring at night or in the early morning become even more hazardous due to low visibility. A potential DUI involvement introduces an additional layer of risk to any accident.
