Abstract:
In 2009, Florida reported the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities in the nation. At 2.51 deaths per 100,000 residents, Florida’s rate was nearly twice the national average. These deaths occurred in all age groups, but compared to other age groups, older adults were significantly more likely to be injured or killed in pedestrian crashes. Those aged 65 and up are about 13% of the population, but they sustain 18% of pedestrian fatalities, highest of any age group.
