Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in San Antonio

According to the Governor’s Highway Safety Association, Texas is one of the five states that collectively comprised almost half, 46%, of the 6,227 fatal pedestrian accidents in the United States in 2018. The other four states were Arizona, California, Georgia, and Florida.
