Which towns and cities are home to Massachusetts’ top crash locations? Search the database Today 6:00 AM In Massachusetts, intersections common for crashes stretch from the western part of the state to the coast, including roadways in both cities and suburban communities. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation uses a methodology to track which intersections see the most collisions, ranking the locations by weighing crashes that resulted in injuries higher than those that just left property damage. MassDOT’s 2017 Top Crash Locations Report, the most recent report currently available, focuses on intersections and is based on crashes entered into the Registry of Motor Vehicles’ crash data system. The agency says the list can be used as a first brush tool to evaluate top crash locations and improve road safety.
