Abstract

The objectives of the study were to determine the frequency of alcohol involvement in adult pedestrian fatalities and injuries, determine if alcohol was over-represented, determine the causal role of alcohol, and suggest countermeasures. Pedestrian fatalities were sampled and crash and control data were gathered via follow-up interviews. Results showed that 50% of the pedestrian fatal and non-fatal victims had been drinking.
