Every year in Canada, an average of 30 child pedestrians under the age of 14 are killed and another 2400 are injured!
In BC, although seniors account for only 13% of the population, 40% of all pedestrian fatalities occur in this age group.
A pedestrian hit by a vehicle traveling 50 km/hr is 8 times more likely to be killed than if they are hit by a vehicle traveling 30 km/hr.
