Risk of Car AccidentsReseda is a busy suburb northwest of Los Angeles located in the San Fernando Valley by the massive 101 and 405 freeways, where the vast majority of fatal accidents occur due to the high speeds involved. Though drivers usually attempt to be safe, far too many at least occasionally text and drive, speed, or even drive under the influence. These behaviors have catastrophic consequences for innocent people every day in and around Reseda. Recently, a motorist lost his life on Corbin Avenue when his vehicle was struck by a FedEx truck while making an improper U-turn.
