Pedestrian accidents and injuries can still happen even when there are traffic lights, pedestrian crossings or crosswalks, lane barriers, and fences. Drivers nowadays are easily distracted by their phones, whether they’re texting, talking or watching a video. The extent of injuries caused by pedestrian accidents vary from minor to severe injuries, even causing death.
