TIME OF DAY
The time of day is an important factor in the incidence of collisions and the severity of any resulting injuries. Although the highest number of all collisions occurred between 3:00 p. m. and 6:00 p. m., KSI collisions peak between 6:00 p. m. and 9:00 p. m., a difference explained by a large increase in the number of people killed or severely injured while walking. As many Angelenos return from work and opt to run errands or enjoy nightlife on foot, our streets have more vulnerable people than at other times. Although the 3:00 a. m. to 6:00 a. m. period sees the least overall number of collisions, those collisions are the most likely to result in death.
