Such collisions can occur in a variety of settings, such as in busy urban environments, on rural roads or in off-road situations. The specific injuries associated with this group can differ significantly based on the speed and nature of the collision, type of animal or size of pedestrian involved, and whether the rider was wearing safety gear.
