Yes, depending on the circumstances of the accident. If you hit a pedestrian and leave the scene without rendering assistance to the pedestrian, you can be charged with a hit-and-run. Hitting a pedestrian while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can also result in a charge of DUI. Causing a pedestrian accident while driving recklessly could potentially lead to an assault-by-auto charge. Finally, if a pedestrian dies due to injuries suffered in a pedestrian accident, the driver can be charged with vehicular manslaughter.
