Study reveals a higher risk of accidents in urban areas across Great Britain from 2013 to 2017. Researchers call for measures to mitigate this risk as fossil-fuel vehicles are phased out.
A study examining casualty rates in Great Britain from 2013 to 2017, and published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, found that pedestrians are twice as likely to be hit by electric or hybrid vehicles compared to those powered by petrol or diesel.
The risk is greater in urban areas, and governments must take steps to mitigate this safety hazard as they proceed to phase out fossil-fueled vehicles to improve air quality and curb climate change, urge the researchers.
