Georgia Pedestrian Crashes
Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable individuals on the road, and unfortunately, pedestrian accidents continue to rise at an alarming rate in Georgia and across the United States.

The state has seen a 60% rise in pedestrian crashes over the past five years, a trend that mirrors the national increase in such accidents. In 2018, Georgia recorded 261 fatal pedestrian accidents, which was an increase of eight deaths from the previous year.
