A group of 101 fatal traffic injuries of pedestrians was analyzed by type of encounter and vehicle, pedestrian's age, impact speed, direction of collision, height of bumper and leg injury. In collisions type A injuries of the spine, pelvis and lower extremities were relatively more frequent, while in collision C there were relatively more injuries of the skull, organs of the thoracic cavity and upper extremities. This difference is, however, significant only in leg injuries. The most threatened group of pedestrians are old people. There is a statistically significant substantially higher ratio of injuries of the thoracic aorta in older pedestrians. Head injuries, fractures of the extremities and pelvis are in cca 80% on the side where the vehicle hit the pedestrian's body. The height of the leg fracture does not correspond with the height of the bumper, neither on the side of the collision nor in contralateral fractures.
