Abstract
Pedestrian deaths constitute the second largest category of motor-vehicle-related fatalities (following vehicle-occupant deaths) and account for 14% of all traffic-associated deaths and approximately 3% of all traffic-associated injuries. In 1992, 5546 pedestrians were killed and 96,000 were injured in traffic crashes (1,2). Alcohol is an important determinant for both the likelihood of a motor vehicle colliding with a pedestrian and the outcomes for pedestrians in crashes (3). This report summarizes data from the Fatal Accident Reporting System of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on trends in alcohol use in traffic fatalities involving pedestrians in the United States during 1982-1992.
