There are about 2 incidents a month when automobiles hit pedestrians in Santa Monica. Police say that vehicles hit buildings primarily due to driver error, such as confusing the gas and brake pedals, speeding, or losing control. Other factors include distractions like texting or driving under the influence, as well as age-related issues among drivers.
