That's ONLY 10.529 people a year!

And strictly speaking, pedestrians are not really participants.

Even so, that is only 0.0288 people per day, which is ONE person per 34.6648 days.

So, more or less .... one person is killed on average about every month street racing in a City and County the size of Los Angeles, and in reality is one giant city.

I am amazed it is such a LOW number.

 

 

The population averages somewhere around 4 million for Los Angeles County, so in a month's time only 0.000025% of the population gets killed in car races.

That is by inspection less than your normal everyday car accidents.

By the way ... if memory serves, this I believe is the FIRST time Harrison Ford was in a movie.

I once raced Paul Newman from the stoplight at the Malibu pier, to Ventura County on Pacific Coast Highway, but that is another story.
