This document presents pedestrian fatalities and injuries resulting from collisions with motor vehicles on a roadway. The report reviews the number of pedestrian fatalities and injuries by age group and gender, by jurisdiction, time of day and month. The report also presents tables and charts showing the fatality and injury rates per 100,000 population, the distribution of fatalities and injuries by type of vehicle, vehicle manoeuvre, pedestrian action and the number and percentage of fatally injured pedestrians who had been drinking. In the tables relating to age group and gender, the sum of males and females do not always add to total fatalities and injuries. For a relatively small number of fatalities and injuries, the gender was not specified in the collision report resulting in the gender being coded as unknown in the database. In tables showing percentage distributions, the totals may not add due to rounding. (Author/publisher)
