Fatal Pedestrian Crashes in Texas

There are serious concerns regarding pedestrian safety, not just in Texas but throughout the country. There has been a dramatic spike in pedestrian fatalities in recent years. The Lone Star State has one of the highest rates of pedestrian fatalities in the country, with 7,388 reported pedestrian fatalities in 2021. That year saw a roughly 70 percent spike in pedestrian fatalities in the state. Pedestrians are at a significant disadvantage in the event of a collision, and pedestrians are involved in almost one-fifth of reported traffic deaths on Texas roads. Pedestrians are much more likely to be killed in the event of a crash.
