Two people killed in a crash early Thursday and a pedestrian who died this week after a hit-and-run in South Austin bring the number of Austin's traffic deaths so far this year to 91. With the three new deaths, 2021 already surpasses 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 in the number of people killed in Austin traffic in a year. In 2019, a total of 88 people were killed in traffic accidents, and, in 2020, police recorded 94 such deaths. With three months left in the year, it's possible Austin surpasses 2020's historically high annual traffic death toll. Austin's highest number of traffic deaths were 102 people killed in 2015.
