ALCOHOL
In Los Angeles, 22 percent of all fatal crashes involved a driver who had been drinking. These collisions account for a large portion of deaths among people in vehicles( 38 percent). Alcohol-related collisions also tend to be more severe; KSI crashes that involved drivers under the influence of alcohol were nearly twice as likely to result in a fatality( 27 percent versus 14 percent).
HIT AND RUNS
Collisions involving drivers who flee the scene are especially tragic because victims are often left helpless to receive needed medical care. More than one in five KSI collisions involving someone walking or on a bicycle is a hit and run. Although hit and runs are also common among vehicle-only collisions, the vast majority of these are minor collisions that result in property damage only.
