Most pedestrian collisions involving children occur...
- at the end of the school day, in the afternoon.
- during weekends.

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: at the end of the school day, in the afternoon.
Most collisions in which children are hit by vehicles happen at the end of the school day. When leaving school, children are distracted, have little awareness of the risk, and are harder to see because they are short. In the image, a child with a backpack is crossing the street between parked cars.
