NHTSA : Nearly 5,000 pedestrians killed , 70,000 injured non - fatally in 2007 . As a parent who walks my young child to school every day , Cameron 's story is tragically heartbreaking , but unfortunately not unique . Drivers at risk because of age , immature judgment , lack of experience . Drivers should slow down in pedestrian areas ; walkers should pick up the phone .
