Understanding Pedestrian Crashes in the Fresno Area

‍

Pedestrian safety remains a critical issue across California. Nighttime and early-morning hours, like the time of this incident, are high-risk periods for pedestrians due to reduced visibility, fatigue among road users, and fewer witnesses on the road. Intersections and areas near crosswalks are common sites for collisions, though pedestrians can be struck in a wide variety of settings, including mid-block locations and on sidewalks.

‍

Contributing factors can include driver distraction, impaired or fatigued driving, speeding, failure to yield at crosswalks, poor lighting conditions, and obstructions that limit sightlines. In some cases, roadway design and inadequate signage also play a role. While investigators determine the facts of this collision, these broader risk factors highlight the importance of preserving evidence early and obtaining a clear picture of what happened.
