Last year, The Times found that from 2000 to 2017, at least 179 people were killed in L.A. County in accidents in which street racing was suspected. Since 2009, authorities have made arrests in more than half the cases in which street racing was suspected in a fatal crash. But those rarely have led to significant jail time, according to a Times analysis of 45 accidents that led to 20 prosecutions.
