From 2007 to 2016 (GB), in any location (i.e. in the road or on the footway, urban and rural): Cycles were involved on average in about three pedestrian fatalities a year, and 82 serious injuries. This represents c.0.6% of pedestrian fatalities overall, and 1.5% of serious injuries. Cars were involved on average in about 317 pedestrian fatalities a year, and 4,394 serious injuries. This represents around 67.5% of pedestrian fatalities, and over four fifths (81%) of pedestrian serious injuries. Altogether, motor vehicles (i.e. cars, motorbikes, buses, vans, lorries etc.) were involved in 99.4% of collisions in which a pedestrian died. In 2016, 43 pedestrians died in collisions involving a vehicle on the footway or verge. None of them involved a cycle.
