Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in AD 87?
No Accident: Blood on the Streets, Blame on the Lawmakers
AD 87: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
Death on the Corners
The streets of Assembly District 87 do not forgive. In the last twelve months, seven people died and 655 were injured in crashes. Thirteen suffered injuries so grave they may never walk the same. The dead include a 75-year-old man walking home from mosque, struck in the crosswalk by a BMW SUV. He tried to wave the driver off. The driver kept turning. The man died in the road. His neighbor called it “so terrible. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life.”
Just months before, a 17-year-old on a dirt bike collided with a minivan. He died. His passenger, a 14-year-old girl, survived. His father remembered, “He was here yesterday morning, sitting on the bed and watching TV.”
The Numbers That Don’t Lie
SUVs and cars do the most harm. In three and a half years, they killed eight and injured 273 people walking or biking. Trucks and buses killed one. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes left others bloodied or broken. No one is safe: children, elders, workers, all caught in the crossfire of traffic.
What Has Been Done—and What Hasn’t
Assembly Member Karines Reyes has voted to extend school speed zones and boost funding for safer street designs. She co-sponsored bills to hold vehicle owners liable for camera violations and to require speed-limiting tech for repeat offenders. She backed a plan for a bike-pedestrian path instead of a new highway lane. But she also voted to weaken bus rules, putting walkers and cyclists at greater risk. The work is not finished. The danger remains.
The Call
This is not fate. It is policy. Every day without change is another day someone does not come home. Call Assembly Member Reyes. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras on every block. Demand streets built for people, not for cars. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
