As a number of Carson car accident attorneys have suggested car crashes in this city are inescapable. With a population of nearly 98,000 people, Carson in Los Angeles County, California is the youngest municipality in the South Bay region. Sandwiched between two major freeways–the 110 and the 405–the city is mostly a manufacturing community with much of the landscape devoted to factories, refineries, and other industrial structures. Nonetheless, the number of car accidents caused by distracted drivers has city officials concerned.
Between 2001 and 2003, the city had 13 fatal car collisions, according to reports gathered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This is a rate of 1.4 fatal Carson car crashes per 10,000 people, which was lower than the national norm.
In 2006, Carson car accident statistics by the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) revealed that six people were killed and 441 were injured in city car collisions. Those who drove while intoxicated were responsible for two deaths and 32 crash injuries. Pedestrian accidents in the city resulted in two fatality and 23 injuries. Carson bicycle accidents killed one and injured 15. Motorcycle accidents injured 31.
In 2007, there were six car collisions with six fatalities in Carson. Among these was the female passenger of a vehicle that slammed into the back of an ambulance. The vehicle flipped over and burned with the woman trapped in the front passenger’s seat. A 26-year-old Carson man in the back seat suffered major injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital. The driver, a 20-year-old Los Angeles man, suffered moderate injuries. The ambulance had stopped to assist a motorist who had been involved in a single-vehicle accident.
Carson car collision lawyers say that many of the city’s accidents are caused by inattentive driving, red-light runners and cell phone distractions. Drivers distracted by cell phones average 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the U.S. annually, according to the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. In fact, drivers talking on cell phones were 18 percent slower to react to brake lights, and they took 17 percent longer to regain the speed they lost when they braked, creating an annoying and potentially dangerous caterpillar effect in traffic.
To reduce the number of accidents, Carson plans to enforce the new California hands-free cell phone law, which went into effect July 1, 2008. These and other ongoing measures, including DUI checkpoints conducted regularly throughout the city have helped to make the city safer. These checkpoints have been set up on Main Street south of Torrance Blvd. and on Avalon Blvd north of Carson St. on Friday, November 15, 2008 between the hours of 7 p.m. and 3 a.m.
