In 2023, Fresno County recorded 126 fatal collisions, a meaningful decline from a peak in the prior year (206 deaths in 2022), mirroring an 11% statewide decrease in traffic fatalities in California overall. Despite this year-over-year improvement, the county still experiences a high volume of incidents, averaging 7-8 police-reported crashes daily in the city of Fresno alone. Injury collisions vastly outnumber fatalities, and vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and motorcyclists, remain at elevated risk. A significant portion of crashes is attributed to specific contributing factors and locations. Alcohol and drug-impaired driving consistently rank as the top contributing factors for both fatal and serious injury crashes. From 2018 to 2022, Fresno County ranked as the 15th highest county in the nation for fatal hit-and-run incidents. Major thoroughfares like Highway 99 and Highway 41, particularly unwidened or poorly lit sections, have been identified as particularly deadly due to old infrastructure, high speeds, and traffic volume.<\/p>\n Have you been injured in a car accident?
