Every day around the world, more than 500 children lose their lives in traffic crashes. Tens of thousands are injured, sometimes suffering lifelong disabilities. Not only are children at high risk in vehicles, on bicycles, and on motorcycles, they are vulnerable as pedestrians and are often injured or killed in the simple act of walking to school.
This Fast Facts focuses on children ages 0–19 in the U.S. in 2023 who were injured as pedestrians in motor vehicle crashes. Data are sourced from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
A new report created by Safe Kids Worldwide and FedEx, Safe School Zone Program: Long-Term Outcomes, to focus on improving child pedestrian safety in school zones.
