LOS ANGELES CRASH DATA | TORKLAW
Prepared November 7, 2026.

Source: https://tims.berkeley.edu/tools/summary/
Underlying CHP SWITRS extract: September 15, 2026.
2020-2024 final; 2025 provisional and incomplete. Do not use 2025 for direct year-to-year comparisons.

The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County. Do not add their totals.
Crashes count incidents. Fatalities and injuries count people. These are police-reported fatal and injury crashes; property-damage-only crashes are not included.
Serious injuries are derived as combined fatal/serious injuries minus fatalities. Road-user rows describe people, not crashes. These road-user categories do not include every road user.
County places include unincorporated areas; the latter are not a city. Place counts reconcile to county totals for 2024. Counts do not measure risk per resident, mile or trip.
No causal claims, legal fault findings, road/intersection rankings or statistical significance tests are made. Changes in reporting, travel, coverage and data processing may affect comparisons. 2020 was a pandemic year.
The retired LAPD open-data collision dataset is not the data source. Do not combine figures from this release with LAPD, LADOT or FARS series without reconciling definitions and coverage.
TIMS source terms apply to underlying data. TORKLAW has not asserted a new license over third-party data.

Files: 01 annual final data; 02 road users; 03 all county places; 04 separate provisional 2025; source_rows.json exact selected source values; sources.json provenance and checks.
