How this analysis was done, and its limits

Original analysis of TxDOT CRIS data, 2021–2025, Saginaw and the area within 15 miles of the city limits. We used TxDOT CRIS crash-level records for 2021–2025 from the counties in and around Saginaw, removed duplicate crash IDs, and grouped crashes by location: Saginaw and the area within 15 miles of its city limits, roads in Saginaw or within 5 miles of its city limits, and crashes coded inside Saginaw city limits. An injury crash is one with a fatal, serious, minor or possible injury (CRIS severity K, A, B or C). Deaths and serious injuries are the totals of the CRIS count fields. Road names were cleaned up so highway codes read as plain names (for example, IH0820 becomes I-820). Intersections count only crashes where police recorded a cross street.

• CRIS includes only police-reported crashes with an injury or at least $1,000 in damage.
• Counts aren't adjusted for traffic volume, so busy highways naturally rank high.
• 2025 data may still be incomplete.
• Neighboring cities' areas overlap, so the same crash can count for more than one city.
• Freeway "intersections" are whole interchanges, including frontage roads.
