California’s Pedestrian Accident Statistics

The Centers for the Study of Disease Control and Prevention looked at the statistics for pedestrian fatalities in a 2016 report. They found that 20% of all people who died in pedestrian accidents were over the age of 64. In addition to people over age 64, children were frequent victims in pedestrian crashes: the CDC report said that out of every five children killed in car crashes, one was a pedestrian.
