Correct answer
- ALos atropellos a peatones.Pedestrians being hit.
Pedestrians being hit are the accidents that cause the most casualties in built-up areas, because towns are full of people walking on pavements and crossing streets. When a vehicle hits a pedestrian, the consequences are usually serious, because pedestrians have no protection, unlike car occupants. This makes these accidents deadlier, and they cause more injuries than other types of accident.
