Dealing With Similar Incidents

Car accidents are far more common than pedestrian accidents. However, there is still reason to be wary when traveling on foot.

“It’s because they are sometimes hard to see. They also ride bikes, skateboards, etc. Pedestrian incidents usually occur in shopping center entrances and street corners,” he added.
