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.
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.
