During the year 2022, approximately 1165 road accidents occurred in Albania where the
number of persons involved in accidents was 1599, while the number of accidents due to the behavior of
pedestrians was 167. Referring to the statistics, the increase number of accidents due to the behavior of
pedestrian over the year is noticed. In this paper we treat the problem of determining the speed of
movement of an accident situation when a vehicle and a pedestrian participate in a crash. As a result of
this accident the pedestrian involved remained dead. For determination of speed we focus on the resulting
of mathematical simulation and PC Crash software. The aim of this work also is to present a vehicle
pedestrian situation where the accident could not be avoided even with the allowed speed of vehicle.
