How to use this evidence guide
Official local record brief
California Office of Traffic Safety publishes city-specific fatal-and-injury victim counts and peer-group crash rankings; here it is connected with I-80 near Berkeley BART, and the visible limit controls what may be concluded.
California Office of Traffic Safety
The official 2023 table reports 615 victims killed or injured in Berkeley, including 106 bicyclist victims, and separates alcohol, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicyclist, speed, nighttime, and hit-and-run measures. On this page, the record helps separate Downtown Berkeley, Berkeley public context from incident-specific proof and the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center chronology; reconcile the evidence gap against the available custodian list to mark the remaining gap.
When to use it
Use this source to verify the 2023 Berkeley aggregate and category definitions before describing local traffic-safety context or seeking the incident-specific agency, report, engineering, maintenance, or video record; reconcile the scene fact against the preserved record to distinguish context from proof.
Details used to locate the record
Limit: The figures are historical aggregate counts and peer-group rankings, not a complete incident list or a measure of relative danger. They do not establish what happened in one event, fault, road condition, notice, medical causation, insurance coverage, or damages; for this spinal cord injuries page, compare the published scope with I-80 and the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center chronology before applying it to the incident.
Local anchors and boundaries
Scene anchor
Use the direction, lane, crossing, time, and observed conditions to identify reports, cameras, and witnesses connected with I-80; document local context against incident-level proof to preserve the original sequence.
Boundary: Berkeley BART is a geographic reference; it does not establish where an incident occurred or who was at fault; map the local signal against the source boundary to distinguish context from proof.
First-care record
Compare triage, imaging, referrals, restrictions, and billing from Alta Bates Summit Medical Center with the incident chronology; review the filing question against official authority to test whether independent records agree.
