Bakersfield intersections ranked by reported crashes

Reviewed by Slick Nick, California licensed attorney · State Bar #324789 · Last updated September 1, 2026

43 confirmed surface-street junctions in Bakersfield, Kern County, carrying 693 reported crashes between them in 2023 and 2024. 50 junctions were attempted here and 43 could be confirmed by two independent sources; the rest were dropped rather than guessed at.

This is a count of reported crashes, not a measure of risk. It is not adjusted for traffic volume, and a difference of two or three crashes between neighbouring rows is within ordinary year-to-year variation rather than a real gap. It says nothing about fault or about any individual claim.
