Each day links to its replay. Counted by when a collision first appeared on the list, in California time.

The week's collisions by the hour they first appeared on the list. The most in one hour: 2 pm to 3 pm (17).

1. SR-9939
2. I-519
3. SR-17814
4. SR-5810
5. Airport Dr5
6. Fairfax Rd5
7. SR-1845
8. SR-435
9. SR-1194
10. SR-1554

Each collision counted once, on the first freeway or highway the CHP names (else the first street), so a crash at an interchange counts for one road; a freeway's own page counts every collision that names it. Busy freeways always have the most: a count, not a risk.

1. 1Sb SR-99 Jno 7th Standard Rd · 5 collisions on 4 days

Collisions listed within about 300 m of each other, counting reports at least 10 minutes apart (dispatch sometimes lists one crash twice).

The areas as the CHP's list names them: its Area offices, and Freeway Service Patrol beats (“FSP”).

Every dispatch centre's week: all of California.

Every collision on the CHP's live list, counted on the day it first appeared there, for the 7 full days before today. We read the list about every minute and keep each collision once. These are first reports from CHP dispatch, and only the crashes the CHP handles: freeways, state highways and roads outside city limits.

A stretch with no reading of the list is said as such: a collision that came and went in it isn't in the count. Busy roads have the most collisions because they carry the most traffic; we have no traffic counts, so nothing here is a rate or a risk. Rebuilt every hour.

Watch the day hour by hour: replay today. Crashes reported over years, by city: crash statistics.
