Oakland crash data · Our analysis

The 87 Oakland intersections with the most injury crashes had about one in five of the serious crashes at intersections in 2025 and 2026. More than half happened at corners with little crash history.

We ranked every intersection in Oakland by its injury crashes in 2021–2024, then looked at where crashes happened next. The 87 intersections with 10 or more, 1.4% of the city’s 6,162, had 24 of the 113 crashes that killed or seriously injured someone at an intersection in 2025 and 2026 so far.

Key findings

  1. 87 of Oakland’s 6,162 intersections (1.4%) had 10 or more injury or fatal crashes in 2021–2024. In 2025 and 2026 so far they had 315 of the 1,648 injury crashes at intersections (19.1%). Table 1[1]
  2. Of the 113 crashes at intersections that killed or seriously injured someone in 2025 and 2026 so far, 24 (21.2%) were at those 87 corners, and 60 (53.1%) were at intersections with fewer than five injury crashes in 2021–2024, 22 of them with none. Those low-history corners are 94.6% of the city’s intersections. Table 1[1]
  3. The City lists 40 fatal crashes for 2025 and 2026 so far; 35 were at or within 100 feet of an intersection. 6 of those 35, with 8 deaths, were at intersections with 10 or more earlier injury crashes, including 85th Avenue and International Blvd (26 in 2021–2024), and 18 were at intersections with fewer than five. Table 2[1][3]
  4. 29 of the 87 intersections with 10 or more injury crashes are on International Blvd. The four at the top of the 2021–2024 ranking were 73rd Avenue and International Blvd, 85th Avenue and San Leandro Street, 85th Avenue and International Blvd, and 90th Avenue and Bancroft Avenue, with 34, 34, 32 and 33 injury crashes over the five years 2021–2025.

What this data can’t tell you

  • Whether fixing a corner prevents deaths. The records show where crashes were reported, not what would have happened with different streets.
  • Rates. Busier intersections see more crashes partly because more people pass through. The state records have no traffic counts, so this ranks raw counts, not risk per driver or walker.
  • A forecast. Serious crashes are rare at any one corner, so chance plays a large part in where the next one happens. 2026 is partial: reports for recent months are still arriving.
  • Every crash. Crashes more than 100 feet from the cross street, and the crashes that could not be placed from the street names (6% of city-street injury crashes in 2021–2026), are not in these intersection counts.
  • The City’s count and ours differ. The City’s tracker has more deaths than the state crash records; for deaths, use the City’s figures. The tracker lists five of its 40 fatal crashes away from an intersection or on a freeway ramp.[3]
  • Crashes nobody reported to police are not in these records.

Methods

  • Intersections. Every pair of City streets that meet in the City’s street centerline file, small residential corners included: 6,162 pairs.[2]
  • History. Injury or fatal crashes on city streets in 2021–2024 whose report puts the crash at the intersection or within 100 feet of the cross street.[1]
  • Later crashes. The same kind of crash in 2025 and in 2026 through 2026-10-23, grouped by the history of the intersection where it happened.
  • City tracker. Each fatal crash in the City’s 2025 and 2026 map layers is placed at the intersection the City names when the City puts it at the intersection or within 100 feet of it.[3] We publish counts, not a list of deaths.
  • Two windows in Table 3. The ranking uses 2021–2024, the history before the later crashes this page follows. The last column adds 2025 for the five years 2021–2025, the same window as the citywide top-25 table on Oakland collision data: 85th Avenue and International Blvd has 26 injury crashes in 2021–2024 and 32 in 2021–2025. Where a corner had fewer than five in 2025, the two columns together would show that small count, so only one is given: the five-year count when another of our tables already publishes it, otherwise the 2021–2024 count. The chart uses the five-year counts for the same reason.
  • Small numbers. Counts from 1 to 4 are shown as “<5”.

The full method for every table is in methods.txt.
