Pedestrian accidents occur more often at night because visibility is a factor. Pedestrian accidents happen more frequently in cities than out in the country because people do not walk as much in rural areas and there is not much traffic there.
More people are walking and there are more motorists in the city. Pedestrian accidents in the city do not happen as frequently at an intersection as one might think. They happen in crosswalks or sidewalks or on the side of the road, and these types of injuries can be devastating or fatal.
