      I found out what things influenced the kind of injuries they got when they were hit. Things like the speed of the car, the type of car, the age and height of the pedestrian, the way they were standing or walking when they were hit. I learnt how we would have to test the cars to work out if they were safe or not. My results went to the European Commission who is funding the research to make new tests for cars. Thanks for asking about my research 🙂
