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 .
