Crashes like the one at Fillmore Ave and Dewey Ave highlight the dangers that drivers and pedestrians face at busy residential intersections in the Masten District.

Even moderate-speed impacts in these zones can lead to injuries requiring professional medical care.
The Fillmore-Leroy area, in particular, is known for older road infrastructure, frequent turns, and limited visibility in some segments—conditions that can contribute to intersection collisions.
