Dunsmuir is a small mountain town, but its stretch of I-5 and local streets like Dunsmuir Avenue and Castle Avenue still see real crashes. Public records show 3 injury collisions in the most recent full year, with 5 people hurt and no traffic deaths reported. Weekend evenings, especially Saturdays between 6 and 8 p.m., tend to see more reported crashes than other times, likely tied to travel patterns through this I-5 corridor town.
