Once again, more people were killed in collisions on LA streets than by homicide last year
laist.com
The grim total of 290 traffic fatalities in 2025 took place in the year city officials had vowed to eliminate them entirely.

Traffic collisions in the city of Los Angeles killed 290 people last year, and more than 150 fatal collisions involved pedestrians, according to Los Angeles Police Department data. It’s also 60 more people than died by homicide last year.

That means the city is far from the goal it set more than a decade ago of reaching zero such deaths by 2025.

    Thank you, that’s super interesting! Wild to realize that the adjusted values for Saint Kitts and Nevis are twice as high as the actual number of traffic deaths / homicides (also shocking there were so many traffic deaths when there’s only ~1500 cars in the country)
