In 2023, Sacramento County reported 653 pedestrians killed or injured in fatal and injury collisions, ranking 7th out of 58 California counties according to OTS statewide crash rankings. This figure represented an increase from 592 pedestrian victims in 2022, when the county ranked 9th, indicating a year-over-year rise in serious pedestrian crashes. Within the 2023 total, 55 pedestrians under age 15 and 82 aged 65 or older were among those killed or injured, showing risk among both younger and older populations. Pedestrian collision counts form a notable share of the county’s 11,407 total fatal and injury victims that year, alongside other vulnerable road users like bicyclists. Contributing factors align with broader research showing vehicle-pedestrian interactions on arterials and urban streets as primary risk points and driver/pedestrian right-of-way issues as common behaviors preceding crashes.
