VICTORIA’S MOST CRASH-PRONE INTERSECTIONS (2020–2023) 

Utilizing the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) CRIS records and data from city-data.com, we have identified the most dangerous intersection locations in Victoria, Texas, based on crash occurrences (including injury and fatal crashes that occurred within 250 feet of the intersection) between 2020 and 2023. Moreover, along with a lot of traffic, they are often adjacent to shopping centers or busy sections of highways like SH-185 or US-59, which heightens the potential for injury and collisions between cyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles.  

Key Insights: 

• With 52 collisions, Navarro St. and Laurent St. is Victoria's most dangerous junction. This is because of the heavy commuting traffic and the area's proximity to shopping malls.   
• Houston Hwy (US-59) & Zac Lentz Pkwy sees frequent rear-end collisions due to its role as a major highway interchange. 
• Common causes include speeding (25.7% of Texas crashes in 2023) and running red lights/stop signs (10.4%). 

VICTORIA’S MOST DANGEROUS ROADS AND CORRIDORS 

The high volume of traffic on roads in Victoria, such as Navarro St and Houston Hwy (US-59), leads to a high number of crashes (involving property damage, injury, and death). Below are the roads with the most total number of crashes from 2020 to 2023, based on TxDOT CRIS data.  

Key Insights: 

• Navarro Street is classified as a "crash" corridor due to its high volume of commercial traffic and numerous crash hotspots close to intersections such as Laurent Street and Rio Grande Street.  
• Houston Hwy (US 59) experiences a large number of crashes due to a large amount of truck traffic on the roadway, coupled with high speeds of travel conditions, which lead to side impact and rear-end collisions.  
• The highest crashes are observed on weekends (particularly Friday and Saturday), which are often associated with intoxicated driving.

FATAL CRASH HOTSPOTS IN VICTORIA 

Unfortunately, not all crashes are non-fatal. Using NHTSA FARS and TxDOT CRIS data, we identified the locations in Victoria that experienced the most fatal crashes between 2020 and 2023.  

Key Insights: 

• Three deadly crashes, primarily involving high-speed collisions with trucks, happened close to Houston Hwy (US-59) & Zac Lentz Pkwy.  
• Navarro St intersections (Laurent St, Rio Grande St) see fatalities due to pedestrian activity and signal violations. 
• Alcohol-related fatalities (25.45% of Texas traffic deaths in 2023) and speeding (35% of fatal crashes in 2021) are major contributors.

SERIOUS INJURY CRASH LOCATIONS 

Serious injury crashes where a pedestrian or bicycle is involved are a serious concern in Victoria. The sites that totaled the most serious (non-fatal) injury crashes, along with data from TxDOT CRIS between 2020 and 2023, are as follows.  

Key Insights: 

• Navarro St & Laurent St leads with 42 serious injury crashes, often involving pedestrians and cyclists in commercial areas. 
• Houston Hwy (US-59) intersections see high injury rates due to high speeds and heavy traffic.
