PHOENIX, Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On average, some 4,000 individuals are killed each year in pedestrian accidents near roadways. Walking can be particularly dangerous for children ages 5-19 as unintentional pedestrian injuries are the fifth leading cause of injury-related death for that age group. Conversely, adults above the age of 65 account for 20 percent of pedestrian deaths. To Hastings & Hastings this clearly illustrates that pedestrians are at risk if they do not follow proper safety protocols.
