ABSTRACT
Over the last decade, road fatalities have been decreasing in relative terms, whereas the number of pedestrian deaths has increased both as an absolute number and in relative terms. Collisions involving pedestrians have a high likelihood of serious morbidity and mortality. A study from South Australia, Australia, showed three distinct high-risk groups for pedestrian fatalities. The three groups identified were elderly sober pedestrians, young and middle-age intoxicated males, and male and female teenagers.1
