The Clovis Police Department has released its list of the top 10 intersections for collisions on Tuesday, highlighting continued safety concerns at several of the city’s busiest roadways.

The department said the intersections identified for 2025 are largely consistent with those in previous years, with several also appearing on lists of frequent traffic citation locations.

Officers responded to 1,273 collision reports last year, a 21% increase from 2024, according to police. The leading causes of crashes were unsafe speed, unsafe turns and failure to stop at a red signal. Police also said drivers under the influence were responsible for 70 collisions.
