Long Beach is facing a critical surge in traffic violence, with 2025 marking its deadliest year in over a decade. The city recorded 53 fatal traffic collisions in 2025, a sharp increase that has made Long Beach the 8th deadliest city in California for road crashes, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). Vulnerable road users are bearing the brunt of this trend; 32 pedestrians and cyclists were killed last year, a figure that tragically surpassed the city’s annual homicide count. Data shows that speeding is the primary factor in 25% of all injury-involved crashes, with hotspots concentrated in neighborhoods like Washington and along the Pacific Coast Highway.
