San Diego Pedestrian Accidents

When a pedestrian is hit by a car, the pedestrian always loses. There is little to nothing protecting a pedestrian from the full impact of a crash. For that reason, thousands are killed in pedestrian accidents each year. 

The pedestrian fatality rate in California is alarmingly high. Statistics show that it’s nearly 25 percent higher than the national average. Hundreds are killed in the state in crashes each year.
