Fresno remains one of the state’s most challenging cities for road safety, though recent data reflects a localized shift toward severity reduction. In 2024, Fresno recorded 1,647 injury-involved accidents and 49 fatalities, ranking it the 11th most dangerous city for total crashes and the 3rd deadliest in California according to SWITRS (https://tims.berkeley.edu/tools/summary/) data. Notably, the fatal injury rate at Fresno intersections is 73.5% higher than the cross-city average, with high-speed corridors like Blackstone Avenue and Highway 99 serving as primary hot spots for multi-vehicle and pedestrian collisions.
While Fresno saw a promising 11% dip in fatalities in 2023- aligning with a broader California trend – injury collisions remain stubbornly frequent, averaging seven to eight police-reported crashes daily.
