What does "なくす" mean in this phrase?


カメラで人を見つけて踏切の事故をなくす

I don't know a meaning of "Nakusu" in this phrase. Can someone help me with
this?




> カメラで人を見つけて踏切の事故をなくす。

So the sentence is about accidents at "railway crossings" (踏切の事故). And we are
doing something to them "by finding people using a camera" (カメラで人を見つけて). What
might you be able to do about accidents using a camera? One logical answer is
to "get rid" of them / "eliminate" them etc. Sounds a bit like "lose" don't
you think? So a translation could be

> We will eliminate accidents at level crossings by using a camera that
> finds/detects people.
