V01.1: Pedestrian injured in collision with pedal cycle : traffic accident

A pedestrian injured in a collision with a pedal cycle in a traffic accident can potentially sustain a wide range of injures. Such a condition involves a person on foot being struck by someone on a bicycle, typically in a location where cars and other motor vehicles are also present. Injuries can vary from minor to severe, depending on the circumstances of the accident. Affected body systems may include the musculoskeletal system with fractures or sprains; the nervous and neurovascular, with potential concussions, head injuries, or nerve damage; or the skin with abrasions and lacerations. Injuries might escalate due to the pedestrian's contact with the ground after the initial impact. The severity of the injury also depends on the speed and force of the collision, with greater speed and force associated with more severe injuries.
