[09-21-24] Crash Involving Multiple Cars and a Pedestrian in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT STATISTICS

Pedestrian crashes remain a serious safety concern across the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 7,080 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes nationwide in 2024, and more than 71,000 pedestrians were injured.

The problem is significant in Colorado as well. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, 120 pedestrians were killed on Colorado roads in 2024. El Paso County recorded 16 pedestrian fatalities that year, one of the highest totals in the state.

The longer-term trend is also concerning. In 2025, Colorado recorded 127 pedestrian fatalities. From 2020 through 2025, El Paso County recorded 83 pedestrian deaths, the third-highest total among Colorado counties during that period.

Colorado Springs itself continues to see serious pedestrian crashes on major roads and intersections. Recent fatal incidents have occurred on North Academy Boulevard, North Cascade Avenue, Wahsatch Avenue, Highway 24, and other local corridors.

Pedestrians have little physical protection when struck by a vehicle. Even a collision at a relatively low speed can cause traumatic brain injuries, fractures, spinal injuries, internal injuries, or other life-changing harm.

Common factors that can contribute to pedestrian accidents include:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Impaired driving
• Failure to yield
• Unsafe turns
• Poor visibility
• Failure to obey traffic signals
• Drivers failing to watch for pedestrians at intersections and crosswalks
