Pedestrian Accidents in Massachusetts

Pedestrian accidents are a persistent safety concern in Boston and across Massachusetts. Busy intersections such as Columbia Road and Dorchester Avenue see heavy traffic and foot

travel, making them particularly high-risk locations. Even at lower speeds, collisions between vehicles and pedestrians can result in serious or life-threatening injuries, including fractures, spinal trauma, and head injuries.

State law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks and exercise caution to avoid collisions. When drivers fail to remain alert, the consequences can be severe.
