Risiing pedestrian & cyclist fatality rates

2022-09-06 17:32:01.93072+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Journal of Safety Research: Effects of large vehicles on pedestrian and pedalcyclist injury severity

Passenger cars were the striking vehicle in most fatal pedestrian and pedalcyclist crashes, though they were underrepresented relative to the proportion of all crashes in which they were involved. Though pickup trucks were the striking vehicle in just 5.6% of pedestrian and pedalcyclist crashes, they were involved in 12.6% of fatalities. SUVs were similarly overrepresented in fatalities relative to the proportion of their involvement in all crashes. SUVs struck 14.7% of the pedestrians and pedalcyclists investigated here, but were involved in 25.4% of the fatalities.
