According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 2009 statistics, nearly 60,000 pedestrians were injured in traffic crashes, with 13,000 of those injured under age 14. Further, more than 4,000 pedestrians were killed in car accidents with 16 percent of the traffic fatalities age 65 and older.
Clearly, accidents involving pedestrians are no respecters of age. That is why NHTSA, law enforcement and other organizations such as Safe Kids USA are working to install pedestrian safety principles in walkers, bikers and automobile drivers of all ages through national and local educational programs.
Losing Focus is Distracted Driving Though distracting activities can range from changing a radio station to eating a snack to checking a GPS navigational device, a 2010 CDC analysis identified two major, dangerous disruptions that surpass all other distracting activities: talking on a cellular phone and/or texting while driving.
Preventing Unnecessary Tragedy Distracted driving heightens the risk of serious injury or death for the driver, passenger(s) and pedestrians who share the roadways. With the increasing trend of distraction-related accidents, a growing number of law enforcement officers, safety program leaders and government officials believe distracted driving has become a public health concern.
