Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequentlyand with higher blood-alcohol levels than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood-alcohol level of at least 0. 10which by law in most states signifies intoxication compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.

Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2,500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U. S. traffic accidents is at least 7,000 or one of every seven highway deaths.
