More than 200 people attended last Saturday's die-in rally on L.A. City Hall steps. Attendees held 312 white roses, one for everyone who was killed by traffic violence last year in Los Angeles.
There were 309 traffic fatalities in 2022, breaking the 300 mark for the first time in over 20 years. This was an increase of five percent from the previous year and a staggering 28 percent increase over 2020.
