California's Highway 138 isn't quite as dangerous as Bolivia's "Death Road" yet it has been given the nickname, "California's death-way" and "Blood Alley" due to the amounts of fatalities reported. In 2000, the Los Angeles Times reported that there were 56 fatalities and 875 injuries on the road over the past five years due to its steep and twisty two-lane road. While improvements have reduced the death toll, it's still not wise to travel "Blood Alley" at night.
