Source: CCRS via data.ca.gov + CA city population. Collision counts are reported crashes from California's Crash Reporting System (CCRS), published on data.ca.gov and aggregated to city jurisdiction; fatality totals are cross-checked against NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Rates per 100,000 use annual city population. Years marked prov are provisional and update as the record is finalized.
Citrus Heights sits in the northeast corner of Sacramento County, a city of about 87,000 people whose daily traffic funnels along Greenback Lane, Sunrise Boulevard, Auburn Boulevard and Antelope Road. In 2025, public records list 310 injury collisions inside the city limits. Those crashes left 408 people hurt, and three people died. The reports also show a pattern: collisions tend to bunch up on Wednesday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m., when commuters are heading home. Behind each of those counts is a person trying to sort out medical bills, a damaged car, and an insurance adjuster who calls before the bruises have faded. That is where LawProactive comes in. We are a free service, not a law firm. We do not give legal advice or handle your claim ourselves. What we do is connect you with an independent personal injury attorney who takes cases in the Citrus Heights area and who works on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery. There is no charge to you for the connection, and no obligation to hire anyone. If you were injured in a crash, a fall, or another incident someone else caused, you can reach out today and talk it through with a lawyer who can explain your options under California law.
