Page 4 The highest degree of injury reported in each collision is categorized by five levels (fatal, severe, other visible injury, complaint of pain and property damage only). There were less property damage, severe injury and fatal collisions this year but more complaint of pain and other visible injury. There was one fatal collision this year (Hopyard Road at Clorox Way – northbound driver fell asleep, hit another northbound vehicle at high speed and that vehicle went into signal pole) and four fatal collisions last year (2/19/2021 – Johnson Drive north of Owens Drive – Vehicle versus pedestrian under the influence midblock, 5/10/2021 – Stoneridge Drive at Newton Way – Vehicle versus Pedestrian, 11/4/2021 West Las Positas Boulevard east of Hopyard Road – Solo driver under the influence hit object, 11/25/2021 Solo electric scooter rider hit head on sidewalk). Historically Pleasanton averages one fatality per year. The percentage of vehicle collisions occurring at night versus day trended to more daytime collisions (27 percent of all collisions occurring at night and 72 percent during the day). The historical average has more nighttime collisions (31 percent) and less daytime collisions (68 percent). Time of day analysis typically shows the majority of the collisions in the morning, school pick-up, and afternoon commute periods. This is not surprising as there is an increase in vehicle trips during these times. In looking at the different days of week Thursday between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. had the highest number of collisions. Collisions by month analysis showed January, September, and November with a low percentage of collisions. June showed the most collisions with the rest of the year fairly even. Historically August has the most collisions, with the rest of the months being more variable.
