California's ski resorts face a deadly season, but the state still lacks a clear count of injuries and deaths. In February, several serious incidents hit major resorts, and an avalanche near Lake Tahoe killed nine backcountry skiers. CalMatters reports California does not track slope accidents. It also does not set a trigger for investigations. Reporters contacted more than two dozen resorts and got no data. Records from the U.S. Forest Service can take months. A father who lost his daughter pushed for reporting laws, but governors vetoed them. Experts say better data drives safer choices and smarter science.

A deadly car crash in Nigeria involving former boxing champion Anthony Joshua and two minibus accidents in South Africa have highlighted Africa's poor road safety record. The continent has the highest road fatality rate globally, despite having only about 3% of the world's vehicles. According to the United Nations, Africa sees 26 road deaths per 100,000 people, compared with a global average of 18. The World Health Organization reports that road deaths have decreased globally but increased in Africa. Pedestrians, bicycles, and motorbikes often share crowded roads with cars, buses, and trucks, leading to high pedestrian fatalities.
