Kentucky Pedestrian Crashes

Every day, pedestrians in Lexington face real dangers while navigating crosswalks, intersections, and sidewalks. Across Kentucky, approximately 150,000 traffic accidents take place each year, with around 25,000 leading to injuries and more than 700 ending in fatalities. A troubling number of these incidents involve pedestrians—and in many cases, they are entirely preventable.

According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 93% of crashes nationwide are linked to driver error. In Kentucky, drivers who are distracted, impaired, speeding, or simply not paying attention continue to pose a serious risk to those on foot. Pedestrians—lacking the protection of a vehicle—are especially vulnerable in these situations and often suffer catastrophic or fatal injuries when struck.

Negligent behavior behind the wheel doesn’t just affect other drivers. It puts the lives of pedestrians, cyclists, and others at immediate risk. Some of the most devastating injuries reported in traffic collisions involve people who were simply walking nearby when a driver made a reckless decision.
