Sacramento Ranks #1 in California for Dangerous Driving — And the City Knows It
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, Sacramento ranks #1 out of 15 major California cities in alcohol-involved crashes, speed-related crashes, and the overall composite safety score — worse than Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and San Francisco. Despite adopting a Vision Zero Action Plan in 2018, the city's crash numbers have not improved. The city is now upgrading four high-injury intersections and developing safety plans for its most dangerous corridors, but the scale of investment remains small relative to the scope of the problem. Sacramento personal injury attorney Michael Rehm — born and raised in Sacramento — breaks down what the data shows and what it means for anyone injured on a Sacramento street.
