Fresno remains one of the most hazardous cities for traffic safety in California, consistently ranking as the 3rd deadliest city in the state for total fatalities. According to 2023–2024 OTS and TIMS data, Fresno recorded 1,647 injury-involved accidents in 2024, an increase over its five-year average of 1,529. While statewide fatalities saw a significant decline in 2025, Fresno continues to face high risks, particularly on Highway 99, which is frequently cited as one of the most dangerous routes in the U.S. due to poor lighting and high speeds.
The primary crash factors in Fresno are DUI-related incidents — ranking it in the top 10% for alcohol-involved fatalities in its population group—and unsafe speed. Pedestrians are especially vulnerable, accounting for roughly 50% of all roadway fatalities between 2018 and 2022.
