All pedestrian vehicle collision fatalities to children less than five years of age in Washington State were evaluated for a five-year period using State death certificates, coroners' reports, and police records. Although the majority of pedestrian fatalities to older children have been shown to be due to "dart-outs" into traffic with the child being struck by an oncoming car, pedestrian fatality incident for children less than five tended to occur when the child was backed over in the home driveway by the family van or light truck driven by a parent. Prevention of pedestrian injuries in this age group requires strategies aimed at safeguarding the driveway and reassessing the safety of light trucks and vans as family vehicles.
在五年时间里，利用华盛顿州的死亡证明、验尸官报告和警方记录，对该州所有五岁以下儿童行人车辆碰撞死亡事件进行了评估。虽然已表明年龄较大儿童的行人死亡大多是由于“突然冲入”车流被迎面而来的汽车撞到，但五岁以下儿童行人死亡事件往往发生在儿童在家用车道被家长驾驶的家用面包车或轻型卡车倒车碾压时。预防这一年龄组的行人受伤需要采取旨在保护车道安全以及重新评估轻型卡车和面包车作为家用车辆安全性的策略。
