Per https://twitter.com/ZachBIsrael/status/1714083443334602974, DC has reached 40 traffic fatalities for the year, matching 2021 for the worst total since 2007—with two and a half months left to go.

16 pedestrian fatalities trails only 2021 & 22 for the most on record—and, given we're only one behind 2021, we'll likely top that.
