Pedestrian-Involved Fatal Crashes: Where and When
The federal fatal-crash census records 325 pedestrian-involved fatal crashes among Orange County's 1,050 fatal crashes from 2019 through 2024. This page shows when and where those crashes occurred without assuming which person in a crash was killed.
About this dataset
This dataset is NHTSA's census of fatal crashes (FARS). It contains fatal crashes only — injury-only and property-damage crashes are not included. The 2024 file is the most recent NHTSA release and remains subject to revision.
31% of all fatal crashes in Orange County (2019–2024) involved a pedestrian — 325 crashes that killed 333 people. 80% of them happened between 6 PM and 6 AM.
