Every year 5,000 pedestrians are killed by motor vehicles and another 75,000 are injured. 80% of all pedestrians that were struck were struck while crossing at a non-intersection.

In the state of Pennsylvania pedestrians only have the right-of-way over motorists in a crosswalk area. It is illegal for pedestrians to cross at any place other then a cross walk in an urban district.

If you have been injured due to a driver's negligence contact an personal injury lawyer.
