Georgia Pedestrian Collisions
Pedestrian travel is the most dangerous way to get around due to pedestrians having no protection against vehicles if accidents occur. Additionally, driver distraction is at an all-time high on American roadways, causing over 400,000 auto accidents per year. Pedestrian crashes are most often caused by negligent drivers, with more than 50% of pedestrian crash injuries resulting from a collision caused by negligence. In Georgia, over 260 pedestrians were killed in 2018, an increase from the previous year. In the past five years, pedestrian collisions in the Peach Tree State have increased by approximately 60%.
