Investigators commonly analyze pedestrian crashes by determining the pedestrian’s position at the moment of impact. This includes whether they were in a crosswalk, near an intersection, or along the roadside. Lighting and visibility can also influence how these incidents happen. The time of day, street lighting, and weather can affect a driver’s ability to see a pedestrian. These conditions can differ greatly based on the location. Vehicle speed and driver reaction are also crucial factors.
