Pedestrian fatalities in Texas accounted for 10% of the total in 2017. Last year there were 5,975 traffic accidents involving pedestrians in Texas, with 669 deaths.
People who break traffic laws while crossing the street, vehicles that don’t yield the right of way, and distracted drivers are the most common causes of pedestrian accidents. There is a strong correlation between alcoholism and depression.
