Deadly Pedestrian Crashes in Iowa
Pedestrians have a right to the road, just as anyone else, but many drivers fail to take the necessary measures to keep an eye out for them. Despite a countrywide decline in passenger automobile fatalities, pedestrian deaths continue to rise year after year. Pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely to be killed in a collision, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Pedestrians have less safety in the event of an accident, rendering them more vulnerable to death.
