    Journal: Accid Emerg Nurs; 2001 Jul; 9(3):194-7. PubMed ID: 11761875.
    Abstract:
    Pedestrian road traffic collisions continue to account for a large number of the clients attending the accident & emergency units in South Africa. These victims include both adults and children, and can lead to serious lifelong consequences for the victims and their families. A pilot study was carried out in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal in order to investigate the injuries sustained by pedestrian paediatric clients who were involved in road traffic collisions in South Africa. The findings of the study reflecting the age, gender distribution and the injuries and their severity are discussed.
