Vehicle accidents can happen out of nowhere, and accidents that involve pedestrians can be especially dire. Pedestrians are not protected by helmets or other protective gear, and the injuries they sustain can be quite serious. All drivers must remember to share the road with pedestrians and pedestrians must remember to remain vigilant.
