According to NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), Los Angeles County consistently records the highest number of annual roadway deaths in California, with the city itself accounting for a significant portion. In 2024, the city recorded 290 traffic fatalities, a slight 6% decrease from the previous year, though these deaths notably continued to outpace the city’s homicide rate.
NHTSA data highlights that speeding, alcohol impairment (involved in roughly 32% of fatal crashes), and distracted driving remain the primary killers on L.A. streets. While preliminary 2025 and early 2026 projections suggest a broader statewide decline in fatalities—estimated at nearly 40% across California—Los Angeles remains a “high-risk” zone. The city’s “High Injury Network” (6% of streets where 65% of deaths occur) remains the primary target for federal safety grants aimed at reducing these persistent numbers.
