Data · federal crash counts
Fatal crash facts by city See the federal count for your city.
Pick a county and a city to see how many people died in traffic crashes there each year, from NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System, the federal count of fatal crashes. Each number shows its year and whether NHTSA's file is final. A count shows how many people died. It does not say who caused a crash.
What the numbers count
- People who died within 30 days of a crash involving a motor vehicle on a public road in California: drivers, passengers, people walking, and people on bicycles and motorcycles.
- Each crash counts in the city and county where it happened, not where the person lived. A freeway crash inside a city's limits counts for that city.
- Alcohol-impaired is NHTSA's estimate of deaths in crashes where a driver's blood alcohol was 0.08 or higher. NHTSA fills in missing test results with a statistical method. It is not a police finding or a criminal charge.
- Hit-and-run counts every death in a crash where a driver left the scene.
Not counted:
- Deaths more than 30 days after the crash, crashes on private property such as parking lots and driveways, and injuries that were not fatal.
- Who caused a crash. A count says how many people died. It does not say who was at fault in any crash.
Small places have small numbers, and one crash can be most of a year. When fewer than 3 people died in a place in a year, the split by mode is not shown.

Cities with no traffic deaths coded in 2015 to 2024: Port Hueneme.
Where the numbers come from
The counts are from NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), the federal census of fatal crashes: the National CSV files for 2015 to 2024, downloaded from static.nhtsa.gov, with file dates from February 4, 2026 to June 24, 2026.
NHTSA's files through 2023 are final. The 2024 file is NHTSA's first release, and its numbers can change slightly when the final file comes out. Definitions follow NHTSA's FARS Analytical User's Manual, 1975 to 2024.
The provisional 2025 counts are from the California Highway Patrol's California Crash Reporting System (CCRS) on the state's open data portal, listed there as public domain, as of November 9, 2026. We counted each agency report once (2 filed twice), set aside 2 rows with a negative count, and withheld the places those rows belong to.
Which places are incorporated cities comes from the California Department of Technology's list of cities and towns, retrieved November 9, 2026. FARS records the City of Irvine's crashes under the place name East Irvine, which lies inside Irvine; we count them for Irvine.
As a cross-check, we compared these FARS totals with the SWITRS figures that UC Berkeley's Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) shows for several cities and counties in 2023 and 2024. City totals differed by 7 deaths or fewer in each year, and county totals by 29 or fewer. We link TIMS and do not copy its data.
We built these tables on November 9, 2026 with a script that keeps California's rows and stores counts only: no names, addresses, dates or locations of any crash. This tool does not store or send what you pick.
You may quote these counts with credit to NHTSA FARS (and to CHP for a provisional year) and to this page.
These numbers are here to help you understand, not to rush you. If someone in your family died in a crash, the first 48 hours list covers what can wait, and the documents checklist lists the records a family can ask for. A count for a city says nothing about what happened in any one crash.
For Los Angeles County, Traffic deaths in Los Angeles County, city by city ranks the 88 cities from the same federal files, with a PDF you can cite.
