Connecticut Serious Pedestrian Car Accidents 

Anyone can be injured on the road, whether they are jogging, walking, or bicycling, which is why it is so important for pedestrians to obey the traffic laws and be alert about their surroundings. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most accidents take place close to one's residence, within three miles. After midnight, the chances of a pedestrian being hit by a vehicle increase significantly. Of all reported accidents annually, there were close to 6,000 pedestrians killed in traffic accidents, which is around one death every 1.5 hours in the U.S.
