Pedestrian Accidents in California
During the first six months of 2016, approximately 2,660 pedestrians were hit by vehicles nationwide. Often times, drivers hit pedestrians unintentionally when they’re distracted. It’s been proven that when drivers focus on their cell phones while they drive, they’re more likely to accidentally hit someone. Therefore, it’s extremely important for drivers to remain focused at all times in the event that pedestrians cross the street, especially if they don’t have the right of way.
