Pedestrian Accident in California
Unfortunately, thousands of pedestrians lose their lives every year in California. The leading cause of almost every pedestrian accident is negligence, which could easily be avoided if drivers paid attention at all times no matter what area they’re in. When these types of accidents occur overnight, most of the time drivers are tired at the wheel or under the influence, which causes the same bodily effects. If drivers are unable to keep their eyes open on the road, or unable to keep their head up while they’re driving, they run the risk of accidentally running over an innocent pedestrian.
