San Bernardino is a risky place to drive according to new report

San Bernardino has been identified as one of the most dangerous cities for driving in the United States according to this year’s Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report.

First launched in 2005, the report examines company auto claims data to determine the likelihood drivers in America’s 200 most populous cities will experience a vehicle collision compared to the national average.

This year’s report revisits collision data published a decade ago to reveal surprising shifts in driving safety across the country and San Bernardino is trending downward. In 2015, San Bernardino was ranked at 102, now ten years later, the city is ranked 164.

According to the report, drivers in San Bernardino are 40 percent more likely to get in a collision compared to the national average and San Bernardino ranks lower than nearby cities of Ontario (145), Fontana (133), and Riverside (132). Rancho Cucamonga fared the best coming in at 109.

For 2025, Allstate researchers analyzed property and collision damage claims reported during the two-year period of January 2022 to December 2023. The report defines a collision as any auto crash resulting in a property or collision damage claim and uses U.S. Census Bureau data to determine America’s 200 largest cities.

“No matter where you drive, the best way to protect yourself and others is simple: buckle up, stay focused and slow down,” said Sandee Lindorfer, vice president of auto claims at Allstate. “These are three of the most effective ways to prevent crashes, and they cost nothing but attention.”
