Officers discovered a man in critical condition upon their arrival. EMTs rushed the victim to an area hospital, where he later passed away. The car's driver assisted the police while staying on the scene. In the meantime, the collision is under investigation by the homicide unit of the Allegheny County Police.

Pedestrian Fatalities in Pennsylvania

All over the country, including in Pennsylvania, there is an increase in pedestrian accidents. The peak of distracted driving has resulted in a significant increase in the risk to pedestrians in recent years. Sadly, crashes claim thousands of lives each year and harm countless pedestrians.

Additionally, while there is always a chance of pedestrian accidents, some locations are riskier than others. Most of the more than 2,200 accidents in metropolitan statistical areas last year occurred in urban areas. In suburban regions, there were approximately 1,240 accidents, whereas in rural areas, there were only about 430. For example, when automobiles fail to stop pedestrians crossing busy metropolitan streets, they may hit pedestrians and inflict serious or even deadly injuries.

Pedestrian accidents can cause serious injuries or even death, leaving victims with lifelong pain and financial difficulties. It is up to the victims to cope with the agonizing consequences of an accident that happened without their fault. Nothing a victim or family should ever have to go through is long-term, excruciating injuries or the heartbreaking loss of a loved one due to an accident.
