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.
Exactly what I thought. I hate cars but most car fatalities are accidental not intentional.
If we started charging car company executives with murder when people were killed on the road, we might get somewhere with reducing the number of vehicles.
Feels comparable to needless deaths due to health insurance. A special kind of negligence
Or at the very least owners of huge trucks. I have to drive super aggressively in my Miata cause I know half those mfers aren’t paying attention and even if they were, can’t see me in a lot of instances.
