DUIs are a '24-hour-a-day problem' in Los Angeles, LAPD chief says.
Moore said there were early signs the driver involved in the crash Tuesday was impaired, though detectives said as of mid-day Wednesday that driver had not been arrested., which happened as the two were walking toward Hancock Park Elementary School, where the girl is a first grade student, authorities said.
Moore said LA's DUI death increase appears to parallel an overall increase in collisions as people returned to commuting, work, and school -- following years of home-centric living during the Covid-19 pandemic. "And recently, an increase in DUI-related collisions, particularly in our fatal collisions, is troubling," he said.
The data showed the overall number of pedestrian fatalities so far this year, including cases flagged as DUI-related, was 48, compared with 50 during the same time period in 2022.
