Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrian accident content, without a writer combing local news every morning

Pedestrian strikes are tracked as their own incident type across every local source configured for your state.

Pedestrian incidents (incident_type: pedestrian) are common in urban and school-zone coverage areas and frequently involve child victims — which carries its own +40 point scoring bonus independent of the incident type itself.

Because pedestrian strikes often make local news quickly (school zone incidents especially), they tend to be discovered within the same 30-minute polling window as any other incident type, giving your firm an early window to publish before competitors even know the story broke.

How this is scored

No dedicated pedestrian type bonus, but the child_victim flag (+40) and critical_injury flag (+20) apply on top of the base fatality/state signals, and pedestrian incidents disproportionately trigger both.

Where it's sourced from

Local TV and newspaper RSS feeds for your state.

Frequently asked questions

Does the system flag pedestrian incidents involving children automatically?
Yes — the has_child_victim flag is set independently of incident type and adds a +40 point bonus to the priority score, which is usually enough on its own to clear the default 60-point generation threshold.
How fast can an article be ready after a pedestrian incident is reported locally?
Typically under 30 minutes from discovery, since sources are polled every 30 minutes and scoring/generation run automatically once an incident clears the threshold.
