The number of pedestrians hit by cars has increased dramatically. For example, Lithuanian rescuers in safety clothing are talking about an increase in such cases by 700 percent. Crash cars with pedestrians go daily – and Friday was not the exception.
The accident happened on Friday at about half past eight o’clock in the morning at the London Street in Liberec. “My girl suddenly appeared in front of the car and it fell, and I started to brake, so it was not a big shock, but she hit the head and probably got something with her leg,” the driver said.
“The patient suffered moderate injuries, she was conscious and communicated with the crew and was transported to the traumatic center of the Liberec hospital,” said Michael, a regional rescue service spokesperson. Rescue workers in safety vest warn of an increased increase in similar clashes, which usually end very badly. “We got a lot of it, by the way we rode once a week to one thrown pedestrian, and now we go every day,” added Gergiev.
According to experts, most pedestrians in the Czech Republic die from November to February. This is related to reduced visibility and earlier dimming. Critical places are surrounding schools or large corporations where the shift works. “Seventy per cent of pedestrians die at a time when they are poorly seen,” said Roman, a transport expert.
Therefore, pedestrians should remember to wear reflective elements, which are mandatory outside the village, in places where there is no public lighting, reduced visibility, and walking along the edge or the edge of the roadway. For example, in Labem on Friday the police checked the unmarked pedestrian. It turned out wrong. Not every other pedestrian was marked. Still, the cops were lenient; they were talking to sinners and giving them reflective tapes.
