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).

Modesto is a city people drive through as much as they drive in. Coffee Road, Oakdale Road, Tully Road and Briggsmore Avenue carry a large share of daily traffic, and public records show they also account for a large share of the city's collisions. In 2025, Modesto logged 1,365 injury collisions. Those crashes left 1,992 people hurt and took 20 lives. Reports tend to cluster late on Friday afternoons, roughly between 5 and 7 p.m., when the work week ends and the roads fill up. Behind each of those numbers is someone sorting out an ER bill, a totaled car, or missed shifts at work. That is where LawProactive comes in. We are a free service, not a law firm. Our role is simple: listen to what happened, then connect you with an independent personal injury attorney who handles cases in Stanislaus County. You pay nothing for the connection, and the attorneys in our network work on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery. Whether you were rear-ended on Briggsmore, hit while crossing near Tully, or injured in a fall at a business, the first step is the same. Reach out, tell us what happened, and let someone who knows California injury law take it from there.
