One Southern California city has some of the worst drivers in the nation, according to a new study by Consumer Affairs, an online research organization.

Hesperia, in San Bernardino County, recorded the nation’s highest number of car crash deaths caused by speeding—averaging 10.9 per 100,000 residents in 2021, the most recent year recorded by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The national average was 3.7 per 100,000, researchers reported in the study published July 12.
