Connecticut Serious Pedestrian Car Accidents

Pedestrians who are 65 and older, as well as children under the age of 15, face the highest risk of pedestrian accidents. When one chooses to walk outside of designated crosswalks, they raise their risk of being hit significantly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2016, there were close to 6,000 pedestrians killed in traffic accidents, which is about one death every 1.5 hours in the U.S.
