California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) data show that Victorville’s total fatal and injury collision count declined from 626 in 2022 to 452 in 2023, indicating a reduction in serious crash involvement year-over-year. In 2022, the city ranked 31st of 61 in total fatal and injury victims among similar California cities; by 2023, the count dropped, and the ranking shifted to 51st of 62, reflecting relative improvement in this metric. Alcohol-involved victims also decreased from 124 to 64, and motorcycle victims dropped from 57 to 33, suggesting lower involvement of these factors in serious collisions. Pedestrian and bicyclist victim counts fell as well. Speed-related and nighttime collisions showed declines, while hit-and-run counts decreased from 42 to 25. DUI arrests similarly declined from 193 to 105, which may correspond with fewer severe crashes. These changes suggest a downward trend in serious car collision involvement in Victorville between 2022 and 2023, though year-to-year variation remains common.
