Traffic collision totals in Escalon have been relatively stable but show small changes over recent years. In 2022, Escalon recorded 27 victims killed or injured in fatal and injury collisions, ranking 5th among similar California cities, with 5 alcohol-involved victims and 4 speed-related victims. By 2023, the total number of serious collisions increased to 28 victims, although the city’s ranking shifted to 9th within its group, reflecting changes relative to other cities. Alcohol-involved collisions declined from 5 to 2 victims, and speed-related counts changed from 4 to 3, suggesting some reduction in those high-risk categories. Hit-and-run serious collisions increased slightly from 1 to 2 victims, while pedestrian and bicyclist involvement remained low. Motorcycle victims dropped to zero in 2023. DUI arrests in Escalon also declined modestly between 2022 and 2023. These year-over-year changes illustrate minor fluctuation rather than dramatic trends but show how specific crash types can vary locally even when overall serious collision counts remain near historical levels.
