[1] There were 32 single-vehicle pre-crash scenarios and 44 multi-vehicle pre-crash scenarios for which there were observed crashes during the analysis period. Some of the pre-crash scenarios included the phrase "no maneuver," which refers to the driver's action before the crash, not if the driver maneuvered to avoid the crash. For example, if a motor vehicle turned right and then crashed into a pedestrian, it is considered a pedestrian/maneuver crash as opposed to a motor vehicle that was driving straight and then crashed into a pedestrian, which is considered a pedestrian/no maneuver crash.
