Pedestrian crashes in Washington State have happened at an alarming rate in recent years. In 2018, there were 103 pedestrian fatalities in the state. In 2022, this number rose to 136. This is a rise of approximately 32%. Severe injuries remain mostly stable, with 408 reported in 2022 compared to 400 in 2018.
Throughout the country, more than 7,500 individuals are killed annually in pedestrian crashes. Pedestrians are the most vulnerable travelers on the road at any given time. They travel totally unprotected, so if an accident occurs, they are at high risk of sustaining severe injuries or even losing their lives. Unfortunately, over half of reported pedestrian crashes in the US are caused by negligent drivers. Distraction, fatigue, speeding, and intoxication are the four most common types of driver negligence in the United States today.
