Ohio Fatal Pedestrian Accidents
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely to be killed in an accident. In the event of a collision, pedestrians have little protection, making them more vulnerable to fatalities. In 2017, a pedestrian died in a traffic accident every 88 minutes on average in the United States, for a total of 5,977 pedestrian deaths.
