Pedestrian Accidents in California

During the first six months of 2017, approximately 2,636 pedestrians lost their lives on California roads. Because pedestrian accidents are a major issue in California, the California Department of Transportation is working on making California roads safer for pedestrians as well as provide more education for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers are often not paying attention when they strike a pedestrian, or they’re under the influence. When accidents occur in the afternoon, drivers are usually distracted by their phones, other passengers, or other activities.
