Pedestrian Accidents Involving Children

Though there is no information provided specifically about this accident, there are many reasons why driving near a school can be so dangerous. Students may or may not be reactive to vehicles coming close to them. In some situations, they may try to run across the driveway to get out of the way, believing they have enough time.

Other times, drivers fail to see children walking in crosswalks or even near the sidewalk because they are smaller. Distracted drivers are one of the most common causes of such accidents. An investigation will provide insight into what occurred here.
