Why Pedestrian Accidents Frequently Happen at Night. Pedestrian accidents are more common at night due to decreased visibility. Drivers might struggle to see people walking alongside or crossing roads, particularly in poorly lit areas. Dark clothing, shadows, and headlight glare can further obscure pedestrians.
