Recent research studies show that the number of car crashes in the last couple of years has decreased, which is obviously very good news. Every year nearly 36,000 people die from car collusions, so any decrease in the number of fatalities is to be lauded. On the other hand, the number of pedestrian fatalities on public highways is on the rise. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 2018 alone, about 7,400 pedestrians succumbed to their road accident injuries.
