Sylmar Crash Reports

About this data

Crash data is sourced from the California Highway Patrol’s Collision & Records System (CCRS), which maintains a rolling window of approximately nine months of records. Only crashes involving at least one injury or fatality are included; property-damage-only collisions are excluded. Data is refreshed daily.

Crashes is the total number of qualifying collision reports in the current CCRS window. Fatal counts the number of crashes in which at least one person was killed. People Injured sums the total number of individuals injured across all crashes, as reported by CHP. A single crash may injure multiple people.

Pedestrian counts crashes where the CHP-reported collision type is “Vehicle/Pedestrian.” On Dangerous Roads counts crashes that occurred on streets designated as part of the City of Los Angeles High Injury Network (HIN), which identifies the 6% of city streets where the majority of traffic deaths and severe injuries occur. HIN designations apply to City of Los Angeles streets only and may not appear for locations outside city limits.

Trend percentages compare the most recent three-month period against the prior three-month period within the CCRS window. After dark counts crashes that occurred between 7:00 PM and 5:59 AM based on the CHP-reported incident time. Hit-and-run and DUI-related counts are based on CHP incident classifications.

Most Dangerous Intersections are ranked by total crash count within the current reporting window. Intersection identification and geocoding are derived from CHP-reported primary and secondary road names.
