Then, by using a check list for demographic characteristics, location, time of the incident and the cause of death were collected and data was analyzed through spss software finally.Findings: Of the 654 dead PEDESTRIANS, more than two thirds (69.1%) were male. According to age, the majority of cases were 65 and older (27.8%). Half of the fatal accidents occurred in urban roads (59.8%). There was a significant relationship between sex of victims and the location of incident (p<0.05). Also, most of the victims died before transferring to the hospital.Conclusions: Based on the findings, according to the high rate of death among older PEDESTRIANS and pre-hospitalize phase, some helpful proceedings such as training, installation of pedestrian bridges, (suitable for the elders), and traffic signs besides and empowerment of medical aid system will reduce death in PEDESTRIANS.
