Compare the same measure across two years
This brief uses the 2022 OTS table and 2023 OTS table for Glendale. Source pages checked September 25, 2026. It is a historical snapshot, not live reporting.
| Measure | 2022 | 2023 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| All collision categories | 588 | 593 | +5 (+0.9%) |
| Alcohol-involved collisions | 40 | 28 | -12 (-30.0%) |
| Motorcycle-involved collisions | 17 | 27 | +10 (+58.8%) |
| Pedestrian-involved collisions | 77 | 72 | -5 (-6.5%) |
| Bicyclist-involved collisions | 44 | 23 | -21 (-47.7%) |
| Measure | 2022 | 2023 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed-related fatal or injury collisions | 71 | 74 | +3 (+4.2%) |
| Nighttime fatal or injury collisions (9:00 p.m. to 2:59 a.m.) | 45 | 51 | +6 (+13.3%) |
| Hit-and-run fatal or injury collisions | 42 | 47 | +5 (+11.9%) |
Change = 2023 minus 2022. Percentage change uses the 2022 count as its denominator and is rounded to one decimal place.
What stands out in Glendale
Victims in motorcycle-involved collisions increased from 17 to 27, while victims in bicyclist-involved collisions decreased from 44 to 23. The motorcycle change is 10 people. Expressing it only as a 58.8% increase would hide the small starting count, so the actual numbers should travel with any percentage.
The pedestrian-involved count decreased from 77 to 72. Separately, speed-related fatal or injury collisions increased from 71 to 74, and hit-and-run collisions increased from 42 to 47. Glendale’s overall victim total therefore cannot stand in for every road-user category or collision circumstance. These aggregate tables do not show where within Glendale those events happened.

Read the limits with the numbers
The OTS methodology draws on SWITRS police-reported data. Victim measures combine people killed and injured; one collision can affect several people. The second table counts collisions. Property-damage-only events are excluded, and categories can overlap.
City coverage excludes CHP reports on roads with shared jurisdiction. These are not complete geographic counts of every crash within city boundaries. City and county figures overlap and should not be added.
These counts are not adjusted for travel, population, or reporting differences. They cannot rank individual risk, establish fault, or identify a cause. Publisher revisions may change historical figures; the downloadable files preserve this dated snapshot.
Use this brief responsibly
For a Glendale comparison, show the starting count alongside the change. A stable city total can coexist with increases and decreases in individual categories; two years do not establish a lasting trend.
For questions about an actual collision, start with its report and evidence. Glendale accident report guide and our plain-English report decoder can help you organize the next step. General statistics do not determine an individual claim.

Common questions
How many people were killed or injured in the Glendale OTS city series for 2023?
OTS lists 593 victims killed or injured, compared with 588 in 2022. This is a combined victim measure under OTS city coverage, not a death-only count or a count of collisions.
Can these figures show who caused my collision?
No. Citywide historical totals do not establish responsibility for a particular collision. An individual assessment requires the relevant evidence and circumstances.
